Mixed Berry Protein Balls

If you know me, you know that protein balls are my jam. They are so easy to make and having quick, healthy snacks on hand is what keeps me from unintentionally eating an entire box of Cheez Its during the week.

The base recipe for all of my protein balls is the same, which is what makes it so easy for me to create so many different variations! This base is perfectly sweet, with just enough peanut butter, and pairs perfectly with virtually any mix in or topping you choose!

Base Recipe

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder

Protein Powder

The protein powder you use in a protein ball recipe is super important. Trust me when I say, I've tried them all and they are not all created equally.

Some get gritty when you combine them with other ingredients, some don't melt seamlessly with the peanut butter, some are chunky, etc. There are a lot of reasons certain protein powders don't work; all you need to know is that I only use ONE!

The vanilla protein powder I use for all of my recipes is the best protein powder I've ever used. It works well in any recipe I've ever tried it in, it doesn't dry things out, and the flavor is amazing.

I have taken the guess work out of trying tons of powders and brands, because once you try IheartMacros, you'll never go back.

This powder was created for people who have a hard time digesting protein (many people have a whey protein intolerance without even knowing it) so it's super easy on your stomach!

I have yet to have a single person tell me they didn't love this protein and that is rare when it comes to protein powders!
