Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup shredded coconut or extra oats (for rolling)

Method
 

  1. Stir together oats, protein powder, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add almond butter, honey, and lemon juice. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  3. Roll tablespoon-sized scoops into balls, then coat in coconut or oats. Place on a plate and chill 15 minutes if you have the time.

Notes

If you don’t have a food processor, no problem, a sturdy spoon works fine. A short chill firms them up nicely, but you can eat them right after rolling. They travel well in a lunchbox or gym bag.
