Cottage Cheese Protein Balls

Cottage cheese protein balls are the perfect high-protein snack — portable, pop-able, and packed with 15g of protein per serving. These energy-boosting bites combine blended cottage cheese with oats, protein powder, peanut butter, and honey for a no-bake snack that's ready in just 15 minutes. The cottage cheese adds creaminess and extra protein, binding everything together into perfectly round, satisfying bites. Unlike many protein balls that taste dry or chalky, these cottage cheese protein balls are incredibly moist and chewy thanks to the moisture from the cottage cheese. They taste like a peanut butter cookie in bite-form — sweet, nutty, and deeply satisfying. Make a batch on Sunday and stash them in the fridge for the entire week. They're perfect for mid-afternoon energy dips, pre-workout fuel, or a healthy dessert alternative. Kids love them too, making them an excellent lunchbox addition. Customize with your favorite add-ins: mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, coconut flakes, chia seeds, or crushed pretzels for a sweet-salty combo. Roll them in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or crushed graham crackers for a pretty finish. These cottage cheese protein balls are one of the easiest and most rewarding cottage cheese recipes for snack prep.
