Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Bake Protein Balls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well-coated and sticky, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in chocolate chips and chia seeds to the mix, ensuring they are evenly distributed, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firmer.
  4. Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls for compact and firm protein balls, approximately 5-10 minutes.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
