Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla whey protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, and sweetener. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
  2. Juice the lemon you just zested and measure out the lemon juice. Add it to the dry mixture along with a tablespoon of water. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Check the consistency of your dough. If it's too dry, gradually add more water until it holds together but isn't sticky.
  4. Dampen your hands with water and roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Create approximately 28 balls.
  5. Place the protein balls into an airtight container with space between each to avoid sticking.
  6. Chill the container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the protein balls to set.
