Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla whey protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and fresh lemon zest. Stir until evenly blended.
Gradually pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and start adding water, stirring continuously until you have a cohesive dough.
Scoop out around 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into small balls.
Place the formed balls neatly in a Tupperware container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, enjoy your protein balls or store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
