“Cook”: 15-30 minutes, stored in the fridge until they harden up 

Total:  30-60 minutes

Easy Protein Balls Recipe Directions

2. If it seems too thick, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
3. If it seems too thin, add a little more protein powder.
4. Using an ice cream scooper, portion onto a baking sheet. The scooper will create a ball-like shape.

About That Honey!

Honey is primarily a source of sugar. It’s half glucose and half fructose and has a medium Glycemic Index rating of 60, so it’s a much better choice than, say, regular sugar, which has a super high GI rating of 100, making it the baseline for all other carbohydrates.  (1, 2)

Variations

1. Feel free to add nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, or any dried fruit. This will change the macronutrient profile, so make sure you take that into account.
2. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter. You can also go with a lower-fat, lower-sugar peanut butter. 

Supplement Suggestions 

Your supplement program should always focus on cornerstone products first and foremost. We’ve already seen the protein powder I suggest. Hi-Tech Precision Protein is one of the very few proteins on the market that directly targets protein synthesis with a formula that goes beyond simply providing protein. In this case, Precision Protein releases leucine in the early stages of protein synthesis. 

Don’t forget about your other cornerstone supplements, which should include a pre-workout, such as Panda Supplements First Blood.  This is an exceptionally well-dosed and well-balanced Pre with a huge 10 grams of citrulline and 3 different sources of caffeine, and that’s just for starters!

Of course, your cornerstone stack should also include creatine. I suggest AllMax Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate. This product is micronized, and uses patented CreaSyn® creatine.

Finally, don’t forget a multi, such as Myogenix Myo Vite. With over 70 nutrients, this formula is one of the most comprehensive multis on the market.

Summary

I know you’ve tried a few Protein Balls by now, and you know they are a delicious high protein snack. They aren’t that big, so just 3 of them gives you a solid 15 grams of protein. But who can stop at 3, right? Now whenever you want a healthy snack, you can use this easy recipe and whip these up in no time.
