Coffee Protein Balls

These espresso-infused protein balls are the perfect treat for coffee lovers seeking a nutritious, energizing snack. Packed with 17 grams of high-quality protein per serving, they provide sustained energy and help support muscle recovery, making them an ideal post-workout boost or mid-day pick-me-up. The rich, bold coffee flavor pairs beautifully with the subtly sweet, chewy texture of the bites, offering a delightful balance of bitterness and sweetness that keeps your taste buds satisfied. With a satisfying bite and a slightly crumbly exterior, these balls melt in your mouth, leaving a pleasant coffee aroma that lingers. They’re versatile enough to enjoy at any time of day—whether as a quick breakfast, an energy-boosting snack during busy afternoons, or part of your meal prep routine for convenience. For those with dietary restrictions, they can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free oats or vegan by swapping in plant-based protein powder and nut butters. To achieve the best results, use a strong, freshly brewed espresso for an intense flavor and ensure the mixture is well combined and chilled before shaping. Keep them stored in the fridge for a firm, chewy bite that stays fresh and delicious.
