Meet your new desk-drawer staple. These no-bake vegan protein balls are low FODMAP, made with five simple ingredients, and come together in 15 minutes — a properly gut-friendly snack that travels well and tastes like a treat.
Why you'll love them
- No baking, no fuss — just mix and roll
- Low FODMAP and made without dates (a common high-FODMAP trigger)
- Real plant protein from peanuts and pea protein
- Great for lunchboxes, post-workout, or a 4pm slump
Ingredients (makes ~12 balls)
- 100g rolled oats
- 4 tbsp (60g) natural peanut butter
- 2 scoops (40g) Nutty Nutty Peanut Butter protein
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tbsp almond or rice milk (as needed)
- Optional: 1 tbsp cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips
Method
- Add the oats, protein powder, peanut butter and maple syrup to a bowl and mix.
- Add milk a little at a time until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Stir through cacao nibs if using.
- Roll into ~12 balls and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
They keep in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze well.
Tips
We use maple syrup instead of dates to keep these low FODMAP — dates are high FODMAP even in small amounts. Stick to a couple of balls per sitting for the gentlest result. Swap in Blissful Raw Cacao for a chocolate version.
