How to Make No Bake Protein Balls
  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, stir rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and chia seeds until mixture looks uniformly speckled and light golden.
  2. Stir in Wet Ingredients: Add nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract; stir until dough holds together and feels soft, slightly sticky, and golden-brown in appearance.
  3. Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in chocolate chips and dried cranberries until evenly dispersed, adding pops of color and flavor to every bite.
  4. Shape into Balls: Scoop out tablespoonfuls of dough, roll between your palms into smooth 1-inch balls for a neat presentation.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
