You know those days where you're trying to be “that girl” but your stomach's like “...yeah, but snacks tho”? These Apple Cinnamon Protein Balls are your answer. They’re cozy, sweet, and give big “grandma’s apple pie but make it functional” energy. They satisfy cravings and help you stay full and energized. No crash. No crumbs left behind.
Why This Recipe is Great - It’s the perfect blend of slow-burning carbs, protein, and healthy fats. They keep your blood sugar stable, reduce those mid-afternoon hanger meltdowns, and taste like a hug. Bonus? Cinnamon is a low-key blood sugar balancing witch in spice form. These are a great option during your luteal phase, when your body needs more grounding and comfort—but with benefits.

Star Ingredients and Their Benefits
Rolled Oats: Complex carbs that keep you full and support digestion.
Protein Powder: Boosts muscle recovery and keeps you satisfied (especially important in the luteal and menstrual phases).
Apple: Full of fiber, antioxidants, and supports liver detox (aka hormone harmony).
Cinnamon: Regulates blood sugar and gives everything a cozy, feel-good vibe.
Nut Butter: Healthy fats that support hormone production and make these bites creamy AF.
The Recipe - You’ll need:
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or grated apple
1/2 cup nut butter (almond or peanut are 🔥)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter
Instructions:
Mix everything in a bowl until well combined. If it’s too dry, add a bit more applesauce. Too wet? Toss in a little more oats.
Roll into bite-sized balls.
Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before devouring.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week (but let’s be honest—they won’t last that long).
