Protein balls are such a great snack because they are filled with whole foods and protein. They will keep you full between meals due to the healthy fats from the peanut butter, the carbs from the dates and oats, and the protein from the pb and protein powder. The sprinkles add extra sweetness and will create a party in your mouth. If you like sweet snacks but do not want to load up on excess added sugar these protein balls are the perfect snack for you. This recipe makes 13-15 balls.
