Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 scoops vanilla bean protein powder (90g)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (9g)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Truvia sweetener (7g)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, freshly grated (from about one medium lemon)

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (90ml, from about two medium lemons)
  • 6 tablespoons water (90ml)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia sweetener, and freshly grated lemon zest. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined, ensuring consistent flavor and texture throughout the dough.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the fresh lemon juice and water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough that is moist but not overly sticky, allowing it to hold its shape well.
  3. Shape the Mixture into Spheres: Using your hands, form the mixture into 28 small, evenly sized spheres. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly dampen them with water to prevent sticking and make shaping easier.
  4. Store the Lemon Poppy Seed Bites: Arrange the formed spheres in a Tupperware container, spacing them so they don’t stick together. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate to allow the balls to set and firm up. Keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy as a quick, nutritious snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh lemons to get maximum zest and juice flavor.
  • You can substitute Truvia with other natural sweeteners like stevia or erythritol if preferred.
  • Store these protein balls in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If you want a firmer texture, you can refrigerate them overnight before serving.
  • Feel free to roll the balls in additional poppy seeds or finely shredded coconut for extra texture.
