Lemony Protein Balls (Print Version)

Zesty no-bake protein bites with fresh lemon, poppy seeds and vanilla - perfect for grab-and-go energy throughout the day.

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 90g vanilla bean protein powder (3 scoops)
02 - 50g rolled oats (1/2 cup)
03 - 9g poppy seeds (1 tablespoon)
04 - 7g Truvia sweetener (1/2 tablespoon)
05 - 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon)

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 90ml fresh lemon juice (6 tablespoons, from 2 medium lemons)
07 - 90ml water (6 tablespoons)

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and lemon zest. Stir these ingredients together until evenly mixed and distributed. This will ensure every bite has a balanced flavor and texture.
02 - Add the lemon juice and water to the bowl of mixed dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is fully incorporated and forms a cohesive dough. The mixture should be just moist enough to hold together without being too sticky.
03 - Using your hands, shape the mixture into 28 small spheres. Make sure each sphere is evenly sized for consistent servings. If needed, lightly coat your hands with a little water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
04 - Place the formed spheres into a Tupperware container, ensuring there's enough space so they don't stick together. Seal the container tightly and store it in the refrigerator to set. Keep them refrigerated until ready to eat for a refreshing and convenient snack.

# Notes:

01 - These lemony protein balls make a perfect grab-and-go snack. Try serving them alongside your morning coffee or tea for a quick breakfast, or pack them with some fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries for a balanced afternoon pick-me-up.
02 - Keep Fresh: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
03 - Freeze: These protein balls freeze well for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
04 - Thaw: Transfer to the fridge overnight or let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
