A super easy, quick recipe for you today! After Thanksgiving, and before the Christmas craziness starts (or has it already?) I wanted an easy way to get some protein in, while not having to stop what I’m doing to do it. I like eating them mid-morning to hold me over til lunch.

These aren’t just great for ME – I’m packing lunches these days and since it gets just as boring PACKING the same old stuff as it does EATING it, I thought I’d do something a little different.

I make these while my boys are in school, and serve them as an after-school snack as well. Why is it that kids come home from school ravenous? I KNOW they eat at school! These peanut butter balls are my secret weapon. Pick them up from school, and throw each of the beasts a baggie containing these. It seems to buy me at least an hour before the whining about when dinner begins.

They’re great motivators for doing homework, too. Even better – these are no-cook! Yep, they’re rolled in graham cracker crumbs – you can skip this if you want to, but I love it!

Banana Oatmeal Energy Balls. These delicious Banana Oatmeal Energy Balls will get you through your day! Just mix, roll and enjoy this no-bake healthy snack.

Kylee’s Notes

Try switching the milk powder for protein powder
Experiment with different dried fruits – apricots, cranberries, dates.
Use almond, sunflower or cashew butter instead of peanut butter

Ingredient Notes

The full list of ingredients and quantities is found in the printable recipe card below.

Peanut Butter. Any kind will do. Use crunchy if it floats your boat!
Non-Fat Milk Powder. Or use full fat. Alternatively, you could use a vanilla protein powder
Raisins. These give the protein balls the chew. Switch out for apricots or cranberries, if you wish
Honey. You can sub maple syrup or agave
Graham Cracker Crumbs. Buy them already crushed, or get some frustration out and crush your own!
