Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until sticky.
  2. If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon at a time until the texture is firm yet workable.
  3. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Shape until all the mixture is used, making about 12-15 balls.
  5. Place the protein balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
