These tahini chocolate chip protein balls are the perfect portable snack option to meal prep for the week. They require only 5 ingredients and one bowl! Nut-free, dairy-free + gluten-free.
Place oats, tahini, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Honey: Maple syrup will work great as a substitute for honey.
Protein powder: I prefer vanilla protein powder as it pairs nicely with the tahini and chocolate chips, but feel free to use your favorite brand and flavor of protein powder for this recipe!
Chocolate chips: You could always skip the chocolate chips and add a different mix-in. Some great examples include: dried cranberries, raisins, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, cacao nibs, chia seeds or ground flax seeds.
