- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder and cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps.

Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
