updated: 5/13/25 | I’ve been making these little Peanut Butter Cinnamon Protein Balls for years, and I almost always have a batch in the fridge waiting for me on busy days when I need a quick snack or before I head to the gym. These bite-size protein-filled treats taste so good and are packed with nutritious ingredients like chia seeds and ground flaxseed. I first shared this recipe years ago, but have since made a few small changes to perfect these delicious little bites with just the right balance of carbs, fats, and protein to fuel my workout or my day. They are so easy to make, and I think you’re going to love these peanut buttery protein balls as much as I do!
