Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, add quick cooking oats, dark cocoa powder, and cashew butter. Blend the cashew butter and honey if using a hand mixer, for about 2-3 minutes until well combined.
  2. Add in the mint extract and mix gently for an additional 1-2 minutes to disperse the mint flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Lightly wet your hands, then scoop out a golf-ball-sized portion of the mixture. Roll it into a smooth ball and continue until all the mixture is shaped.
  4. Place the rolled protein balls in an airtight container, ensuring they are not touching each other. Freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  5. Thaw for about 5 minutes at room temperature before serving. Enjoy your Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls!
