Ingredients

Scale

Main 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 / 80 ml)
  • 2 tbsp honey (42 grams)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (13 grams)

Optional Toppings

  • White chocolate, melted (quantity as desired)
  • Additional shredded coconut (quantity as desired)

Instructions

  1. Process Dry Ingredients: Add rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, vegan vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds into a food processor. Pulse the mixture until the ingredients are broken down into small bits but not completely powdered, ensuring a good texture in the energy balls.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients and Combine: Pour in the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, honey, and melted coconut oil to the food processor. Pulse again until all ingredients are fully combined into a sticky, cohesive mixture.
  3. Shape the Energy Balls: Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion out even amounts and squeeze the mixture into compact 1-inch balls by rolling between your palms.
  4. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the energy balls or roll them in additional shredded coconut to enhance flavor and presentation.
  5. Set and Chill: Place the formed energy balls into a resealable container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • These energy balls can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw briefly before serving.
  • If you prefer, substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of choice.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup; note that this changes the sweetness slightly.
  • Ensure the food processor pulses ingredients instead of blending continuously for better texture control.
