Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla whey protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and fresh lemon zest. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and a small amount of water. Stir vigorously until forming a cohesive dough.
If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add more water until achieving a firm, manageable consistency.
Shape portions of the mixture into 1-inch spheres, applying gentle pressure to compact the dough.
Place the balls in a container or on a lined baking sheet, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Enjoy the protein balls as a nutritious snack throughout your busy day.
