Ingredients & Health Benefits

The ingredients for these protein balls are simple and wholesome. You’ll need chocolate protein powder, oats, almond milk, mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.

• Protein powder: A great source of high-quality protein, which aids in muscle growth and recovery. We love Chocolate Nutrisystem Shake Mix!
• Rolled Oats: Packed with fiber and antioxidants, they help lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar control.
• Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk: To help hold things together!
• Mini Marshmallows: Because we all need a little sweetness in our lives!
• Graham Crackers: Besides adding that classic s’mores flavor, whole grain varieties can also provide extra fiber.
• Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you love chocolate, feel free to add some chocolate chips! Just be sure to count this towards your daily Extras. (1/2 Tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips = one Extra on Nutrisystem. Therefore, you could add 1 Tablespoon to the recipe and count each serving as two SmartCarbs, one PowerFuel and one Extra.)

Easy Preparation

Preparing these protein balls is as easy as pie. Simply blend the oats and graham crackers in a food processor until fine, then stir in the protein powder and almond milk.

Finish the cookie dough by folding in some mini marshmallows. If you’re adding chocolate chips, this is where you will stir them in, too!

Finally, roll the dough into eight equal-sized balls and pop in the fridge for an hour. Don’t skimp on the chilling time – it helps the balls hold their shape and intensifies the flavors.

That’s it! No baking required, no complicated steps.

Serving Suggestions

These protein balls are the perfect on-the-go snack. Pack them in your lunchbox for a midday pick-me-up, or grab one before your workout for a quick energy boost. They’re also a hit at parties – serve them as a healthy dessert option and watch them disappear!
