Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Method

1. 1

   Stir the peanut butter and honey together in a bowl (warm for 15 seconds in the microwave if very stiff).

2. 2

   Add the oats, whey, flaxseed and salt and mix — it will look crumbly. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together when squeezed.

3. 3

   Fold in the chocolate chips.

4. 4

   Roll into 16 balls of about 27 g each with slightly damp hands and set on a lined tray.

5. 5

   Chill until firm, then store in an airtight box in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for 3 months. Serve 2 per portion.

Substitutions

• Vegan: use maple syrup instead of honey, a plant protein powder and oat milk (you may need a splash more liquid).
• Nut-free: swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.
• Lower-sugar: replace the honey with 2 tbsp sugar-free syrup and use cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips.
