Healthy Protein Balls Recipes – No Bake, Vegan

How to make Healthy Vegan Protein balls?

Probably the most important thing is to not add any sugar to your protein balls. If you prefer sweet protein balls then you can add some extra dates or try natural sweeteners that don’t raise your blood sugar levels and are zero calories like stevia.

Also make sure that none of the ingredients you use have added sugar (almond butter, peanut butter, protein shakes, cocoa powder).

How many calories are in a vegan protein ball?

The number of calories in one peanut butter protein ball will depend on the size of the ball and the specific brands and amounts of ingredients used. However, there are approximately 135-150 calories in each vegan protein ball.

How long do protein balls last in the fridge?

If you keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator they are good for up to 1 week.

Can you put CBD in protein balls?

Yes, you can add CBD oil to protein balls. CBD oil can be a great addition to protein balls as it can add some unique flavor and potential health benefits.

You can infuse it into any food as long as it bakes at 350°F (177°C) or less since heat can lower its effectiveness.

Our favorite one is Diamond CBD because it’s a high-quality product with many benefits and they also have fast delivery and great customer service.

Can You add collagen powder to protein balls?

Yes, you can definitely add collagen powder to protein balls. Collagen is a type of protein that is good for your skin, joints, and bones, and can also help to improve muscle mass and recovery.

When adding collagen powder to your protein balls, you can simply mix it into the other ingredients. Start with a small amount, such as a tablespoon or two, and adjust to your desired taste and consistency. You can also experiment with different flavors of collagen powder to add some variety to your protein balls.

Also only use good quality collagen powders without any sugar added.

Our favorite is Sunwarrior’s Vegan Collagen Building Powder with hyaluronic, biotin, and vitamin C.

Healthy Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls

These no-bake, vegan pumpkin bliss balls are not only delicious but protein-packed snack idea that satisfies your sweet cravings while boosting your energy. Loaded with pumpkin, oats, and dates, they’re a flavor explosion with fiber and plant-based protein.

Best part? There is no added sugar so you can say goodbye to sugar crashes.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
• 1/2 cup pitted dates (about 10-12 dates)
• 1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of your choice)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/4 cup plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Optional: Unsweetened shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates: If your dates are not very soft, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
2. Blend the Dates: Place the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste.
3. Add Pumpkin Puree: Add the pumpkin puree, almond butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor with the date paste. Blend until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, plant-based protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the pumpkin-date mixture from the food processor into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
7. Shape into Balls: After chilling, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. If desired, roll each ball in unsweetened shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Raspberry Protein Balls Recipe

Yield: About 12-15 balls

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup raw almonds or cashews (or a mix of both, depending on your preference)
2. 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3. 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries (they blend more easily than fresh ones and give a concentrated flavor)
4. 2 scoops plant-based protein powder (like pea or hemp protein)
5. 1/4 cup chia seeds (for added protein and fiber)
6. 1 tsp vanilla extract (ensure it’s gluten-free)
7. 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
8. A pinch of salt
9. Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste (optional, if you want a little extra sweetness)

Directions:

1. Process Nuts: In a food processor, blend the almonds or cashews until they turn into a fine meal.
2. Add Raspberries: Add freeze-dried raspberries to the processor and blend until they’re finely ground and well mixed with the nuts.
3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the shredded coconut, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener (if using) to the processor. Pulse to combine.
4. Bind with Coconut Oil: With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted coconut oil until the mixture comes together into a dough-like consistency. If it seems too dry, you can add a little more coconut oil.
5. Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls. You can decide the size, but usually, about 1 inch in diameter works well.
6. Chill: Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
7. Store: Once set, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer-lasting treats.
