This is a sponsored post for the Bob’s Red Mill #granolabobsway advertising campaign.
A few weeks back, Bob’s Red Mill contacted me to ask me if I would be interested in participating in their August campaign to promote their line of Pan-Baked Granolas.
I absolutely love the brand and I use their products in most of my recipes so they didn’t have to push very hard to convince me!
They’ve sent me 1 bag for every flavor: Lemon Blueberry, Coconut Spice, Maple Sea Salt, and Cranberry Almond. To be honest, I’m usually not a huge fan of granola, I do eat some from time to time, but it usually isn’t part of my everyday routine.
But I’ll just say this: They have instantly turned me into a regular buyer. This stuff is so, so good. All of the flavors are extremely tasty, and very healthy as well! Gluten-free and only 7 grams of added sugar per serving. Simply amazing.
How to make Granola Protein Balls
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Break the granola clusters. The way I did it is that I opened the bag, removed the air, closed it, then gently rolled it with a rolling pin. Simple.
3. Pour the whole bag of granola (any of their flavor, here I used Cranberry Almond) into a large mixing bowl, add almond butter, coconut flour, vanilla whey protein powder, and almond milk. Stir until well combined:
4. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls using your hands and place them on your baking sheet:
5. Place them in the fridge for 2 hours, then place them into a sealed container for up to 7 days. Done!

Cranberry Almond Granola Protein Balls
These no-bake, 5-ingredient Cranberry Almond Granola Protein Balls are made using Bob's Red Mill's Pan-Baked, Gluten-free granola. Super tasty and easy to make, they are the perfect on-the-go snack!
Whey Version

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break the Clusters. Remove the air from the granola bag, then roll it gently using a rolling pin (or your fist/palm), to break the clusters.
Stir Everything Together. Pour the whole bag into a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder, 1/4 cup coconut flour, and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. Stir until well combined.
Roll Into Balls. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls using your hands. I used a 1/8 cup measuring cup to make equally sized balls. Place the balls on the lined baking pan.
Refrigerate. Place the balls in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. (They will be oily at first, but will set in the fridge)
Store. Place the balls in an airtight container. To be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
