Ingredients

3/4 cup rolled oats (60 grams)
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (40 grams)
1 scoop PEScience Select Vegan Vanilla Indulgence Protein Powder (28 grams)
1 tbsp matcha powder (6 grams)
1 tbsp chia seeds (12 grams)
1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (2.67 oz)
2 tbsp honey (42 grams)
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (13 grams)

Instructions

Step 1: Add oats, shredded coconut, protein powder, and chia seeds to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is broken down into small bits but not completely powdered.
Step 2: Add matcha powder, almond milk, honey, and melted coconut oil to the processor. Pulse until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky mixture.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Use your hands or a cookie scoop to portion out the mixture, then roll each portion into 1-inch balls.
Step 4: If desired, drizzle melted white chocolate over the balls or roll them in additional shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
Step 5: Place the energy balls in a resealable container and allow them to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use maple syrup or agave nectar as a vegan alternative to honey.
Substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk you prefer.
For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts or seeds to the mixture before forming balls.
Adjust the amount of matcha powder to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.

Storage

Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before eating. No reheating is necessary.

FAQs

Can I make these energy balls without a food processor?

While a food processor makes the process easier, you can finely chop the oats, coconut, and seeds by hand and then mix thoroughly with the wet ingredients using a sturdy spoon or your hands.

Are these energy balls suitable for vegans?

To make this recipe vegan, substitute honey with a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar. The rest of the ingredients are already vegan-friendly.
