For the Protein Balls

1 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder A great source of protein; select one you love to ensure a tasty experience.
1 cup Oats Provides structure and fiber; rolled oats yield the best chewy texture.
2 tbsp Poppy Seeds Adds a delightful crunch and visual appeal; feel free to omit if you prefer a smoother texture.
2 tbsp Truvia (or other sweetener) Adds sweetness; adjust to your liking, especially if your protein powder is sweetened.
1 tbsp Lemon Zest Brings fresh citrus flavor; always choose zest from fresh lemons for the ultimate taste.
2 tbsp Lemon Juice Provides acidity and brightness; freshly squeezed is best for enhancing overall flavor.
3 tbsp Water Helps achieve the perfect consistency; add gradually to avoid a sticky mix.

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla whey protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and lemon zest. Mix until evenly distributed.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and gradually pour in water while stirring with a spatula to bring the mixture together.
Shape the mixture into equal-sized spheres, aiming for about 28 small balls.
Place the shaped protein balls in a Tupperware container without touching each other, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Enjoy the protein balls as a snack or post-workout treat.
