Description
3-Ingredient banana protein balls! They are naturally vegan, gluten-free, and only 51 calories (3 grams of protein) each. They are fast and easy to make, too.
Ingredients
- 1 large, very ripe banana
- 3 tablespoons water (more , as needed)
- 1 and 3/4 cups (175 g) quick-cooking rolled oats (certified GF, as needed)

- *matcha (green tea powder)
- *unsweetened cocoa powder
- *chia seeds
- *cacao nibs

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana into a puree using a fork. Add the water and oats. Mash and stir the mixture together until it becomes a cohesive paste. Stir in the protein powder.
- Shape into 1 inch balls (I use a small cookie scoop). If desired, roll in any of the suggested toppings.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
