Ingredients
  

For the Protein Base
  • 2 cups Whey Protein Powder Use vanilla-flavored for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Oats Choose gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/4 cup Poppy Seeds No direct substitutes, but chia seeds can mimic texture.
For Sweetness & Flavor
  • 1/4 cup Truvia (or Sweetener of Choice) Honey is a good alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Zest Use only the yellow part.
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice Fresh juice is preferable.
For Consistency
  • cup Water Add gradually to ensure the mixture holds together.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whey protein powder, oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and freshly grated lemon zest. Stir thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the fresh lemon juice to the dry mixture, followed by a small splash of water. Mix until fully incorporated and slightly sticky, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust with more water to achieve moist consistency.
  3. Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon. Form around 28 balls, rolling each one to achieve a smooth exterior.
  4. Place the protein balls in a Tupperware container in a single layer, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
