If you’re looking for a quick and delicious snack with some extra protein, these Chocolate Coconut Energy Balls are just what you need! Thanks to WAM Protein, oats and peanut butter, they combine protein, carbohydrates and fat, which makes them a handy snack for on the go. Whether it’s after a workout, on a hike, or during a bike ride, these little energy balls are super easy to make and absolutely tasty.

WAM Protein – vegan protein powder with leucine, no sucralose

Ingredients for the Protein Balls:

  • 60g oats (finely blended works best)
  • 30g WAM Chocolate Hazelnut Protein Powder
  • 125g peanut butter
  • 40g agave syrup or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp desiccated coconut

Method:

  1. Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix them with your hands until you get a homogeneous mixture. The dough should be slightly crumbly but still easy to shape.
  2. With wet hands, shape 12 small balls from the dough.
  3. Roll the balls in some extra desiccated coconut.
  4. Store the Protein Energy Balls in an airtight container in the fridge so they hold their shape and last longer.

Are Energy Balls a Good Snack?

These Energy Balls don’t just contain a good amount of protein from our vegan WAM Protein Powder, but they also contain fats from peanut butter and carbohydrates and fibre from oats. They’re sweetened with agave or maple syrup, so you can easily adjust the sweetness to your taste. They’re perfect as a quick snack on the go or as a side to your protein shake.

Our Protein Balls Recipe: Versatile and Flexible

The best part about these Protein Balls is that you can customise them however you like! For example, you can swap out the desiccated coconut for dates or other dried fruits. For chocolate lovers, you could add cocoa powder, cacao nibs, or chocolate chips. You can also easily mix in chopped nuts like almonds or spices like cinnamon—give it a go! You can even freeze the balls for a longer shelf life, so you’ll always have a snack ready to grab.

Our Energy Balls with WAM Protein are the perfect little snack – whether after a workout or as a quick bite during the day. Super delicious, vegan, and super quick to make!

Dr. Anna Falk- PhD Chemist & Founder

I'm a chemist and athlete who got tired of protein powders that taste like liquid candy and come with a side of diet culture. After 12 years in research and product development, I founded WAM to make what I couldn't find anywhere: vegan sports nutrition that's actually grounded in science. Every formula is enriched with Leucine for muscle synthesis and made without artificial sweeteners - because effective supplementation shouldn't require compromising on ingredients or flavour.

My goal? Products that support your strength and long-term health. No guilt trips, no gimmicks.
