I love to have healthy snacks on hand for after my workouts or if I just need a snack. My No Bake Protein Energy Balls are so delicious, that I can’t eat just one. I made two versions. One with raisins, almond slivers, and one without. I love raisins and nuts, so I make this version.

These no-bake protein balls are great to make on a Sunday and you can eat them through the weeks as a healthy snack. Meal prep is so important when trying to stay on track with eating healthy. Not to mention, they are so easy to make.
I think you are going to love this recipe! I added red and green chocolate chips to add a festive look for the holidays. Make this for your work holiday party or serve it at your next party. No one will believe it’s healthy for you. It’s like a dessert.

And I was also wanting to try the Juice Plus Complete.
But have a question.
Why do the Juice Plus products only ship every 4 months?
The servings on a box is 60, so for 4 months that is only 15 servings a month.
I guess I thought you would have a shake and/or bar every day.
Hi Patti, You are correct. They will send you a 2 month supply all at one time, but they will bill you every month over the next 4 months. One order isn’t enough for a shake every day. I hope that helps. Let me know if I can help answer any other questions. 🙂 xoxo
Trying this recipe with the chocolate and adding a little Cacao powder and either some honey or liquid Stevia to take the edge off the bitterness of the raw cacao.
Have you tried them with the Chocolate yet?
making them to take to Conference. LOL!!!
Hi, Amy. I just recently came across your blog and have really enjoyed it already. My daughter (21) is also Type I. She was diagnosed a little over a year ago. We strive to find the healthiest recipes and food choices out there. Considering the carb count in most foods, that’s not always the easiest thing to do. My question for you is….where do you find the best recipes that are low carb? I had a moment to look through your recipes and think there are many we could try. Do you have a go to source you really like?
Enjoy your day!

Hi Tracy, Oh wow. How is your daughter doing? Diabetes can be really hard in the beginning. A friend of mine has a website and a cookbook called Dashing Dish. All of her recipes are healthy and delicious. Let me know if I can help answer any more questions. 🙂
Looks delish – Amy can you suggest what to use in place of JuicePlus in recipe?
HI Donna, Any protein powder will work. I also like Designer Protein 100% Premium Whey Protein Powder, French Vanilla. You can find it here http://amzn.to/2isSgnD. I hope this helps. 🙂
I buy these from a meal prep company locally they are soo good. But now that I have found this recipe I will not have to buy them !!! thank you so much for sharing.
Hi! I have made these once and had a difficult time rolling them into the balls. Do those that have made them have any tips so it isn’t so messy next time I make them? They are SO GOOD though!
Hi Dena, Add more oats to help make the consistency less sticky. Also, spray your hands with non-stick spray to help with them sticking to your hands. I hope this helps. 🙂
Do they have to be refrigerated after they harden?
Yes they do. 🙂
Might be a silly question. But can you taste the apple sauce? Not a big fan of apple flavoring but I’ve used apple sauce in baking in the over before and never had an issue. Just wondering as these are not cooked. Thanks!
Hi Carrie, You shouldn’t be able to taste the applesauce. My family has no idea I use it in the recipe. 🙂
