Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Combine the vanilla whey protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and fresh lemon zest in a large mixing bowl.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice gradually, mixing as you go. Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together.
Dampen your hands slightly and roll the mixture into 28 equally-sized balls, each about an inch in diameter.
Place the protein balls in a Tupperware container in a single layer, ensuring they do not stick together.
Seal the container and refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
