In a large mixing bowl, add creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, and vanilla protein powder. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Mix together until a cohesive dough forms.

Fold in mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed within the mixture.

Using a mini cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture into one-inch-sized balls on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet.

Take each portion and gently roll them between your palms to form smooth, round shapes.

Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about one hour or until firm.

Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container or Ziploc bag. Store in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for 2-3 months.
