These delightful No Bake Protein Balls are made with only five ingredients and topped with candy eyes and chocolate buttons to resemble turkeys.
They are packed with raw cocoa and oats, and sweetened only with dates. Whip them up as a fun holiday snack for Thanksgiving, along with my dip bowls or carrot pumpkin tray.
If you’re short on time, or it’s outside of the holiday season, roll the protein balls in shredded coconut or cocoa for a plain (but super delicious) on-the-go treat.
Recipe Tip
Try dipping the balls in dark chocolate before adding the turkey details.
