10 Protein Balls Recipes for an Energy Boost
Protein isn’t just a macronutrient for repairing and building body tissues. It’s also an energy source. But, unlike carbohydrates, it takes longer to break down in the body. This results in you staying satisfied and energetic for longer hours.
Since we ladies like sweets and find eating meat or drinking protein shakes mundane in the long run, here’s a way to maximize protein intake while making it a treat.
1. No-bake Energy Balls
Like its name says, this protein ball doesn’t require an oven to make. Here’s more good news, it’s gluten-free! You can also choose what flavor to mix in the balls. It can be chocolate, chip, trail mix, white chocolate cranberry, almond joy, and many more!

7. Lemon Bliss Balls
I’m going to admit this protein ball tastes weird but, hey, maybe it’s one that fits your palate well. There are dates to bring sweetness. Lemon zest for a little sour and bitterness. Then you can have any kind of nut you want to. I personally like almonds for the crunch and extra protein.

8. Bone Broth Almond Cacao Energy Balls
At first, I was like “Bone broth? In a protein ball? How will that taste like?” Turns out that the bone broth ingredient is protein powder from real bone broth with vanilla flavor. To be fair it really did taste good. You have saltiness, chocolate, honey, vanilla, and butter in one.

9. Cookie Dough Collagen Protein Bites
When we see the word “cookie” on the description, we often associate the preparation process with the use of an oven. This time, it won’t need to. And that word “collagen”? Yes, it’s meant to for bone strengthening and pro cheer skin beauty.
