If you’re looking for an easy, no bake, high protein snack that tastes amazing then you’ve come to the right place!
I’ve collaborated with the gorgeous Hannah from Wedges and Weights (again!) to show you a super tasty snack idea!
Each ball comes in at 5g of protein – so 3-4 of these would be the perfect option for post-workout.. do let us know if you try it!
P.S. Check out out Q & A video [here]!
Ingredients
- 250g cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp (52g) nut butter
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup (106g) rolled oats
- 1 scoop (25g) whey protein*
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- desiccated coconut for rolling!
*We used chocolate brownie whey protein
- Method
- Add all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
- Roll into 15 golf-ball sizes balls – rolling each in desiccated coconut before placing on a tray or plate lined with greaseproof paper.
- Pop in the freezer for 40 minutes.. and enjoy!
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who sends me pictures of my recipes on Twitter & Facebook – here are a selection!!

Hello! Not too sure if it would be thick enough.. maybe a Greek yoghurt would work?! Do let me know!! Nic xx
Delicious and super easy to make. Cottage cheese in protein balls sounds weird but it works!

Aw thank you Ania! So glad you liked them :))
I’m in Lovvvvvveeeee with these <3 You have to try them, so good for a healthy little shot of the good stuff. i like to have then if i'm feeling slumped in the avo. I have a massive sweet tooth so this also helps with that little devil inside 😛 If your anything like me, make sure you store them ASAP otherwise you could end up feeling quite sicky 😀 Enjoy xoxox

Aw Hannah thank you so much for your lovely comment!! So glad you like them as much as me!!! xxx
hi! can i skip the protein powder and sub it with something else?

Hi Rachel! You could use hot chocolate powder instead 🙂 x
Honest to God, it’s like eating truffles! These are delicious and so easy to make. When my trainer suggested I add cottage cheese to my diet I’d no idea how I’d manage it because I’m really not a fan so this recipe is perfect for me! Thank you ladies 😉

Hehe hurray!! And thank you so much for the fab pic too!! xx
Tried these with Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese and sun warrior protein and they are the nicest things I’ve ever made !! Thank you

Oooh thank you for letting me know that they work with yoghurt! Yay! x
Once they have been in the freezer, do you take out and refrigerate or keep in the freezer until ready to eat? Just don’t know if they will be suitable to take to work as i will not have a fridge or a freezer at hand. hope you can help. Thanks Helen

Hello! I would personally keep these for an at home snack and take some of my other no bake protein balls to work that just need a fridge (mini cool bag and ice pack!) rather than a fridge… or my bites based on dried fruit should be ok at room temp 🙂 http://nicsnutrition.com/recipe/no-bake-healthy-truffles/ try these!
