Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract.

  5. Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.

Notes

These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Experiment with different nut butters and add-ins for variety.
