If you’re someone who never quite knows what to eat before or after a workout, Scott’s Protein Balls are about to be a game-changer. I first discovered them during my summer workout sessions in the Hamptons, and I’ve been hooked ever since. They’re clean, delicious, and packed with just the right amount of protein—perfect for fueling up on the go. Now, they’re my go-to treat, whether I’m heading to the barn for a ride or gearing up for a long day of meetings. And the best part? I never feel guilty about how many I eat.
Recently, I connected with the brand’s founder, Lori Levine, who generously sent over a selection, including a few flavors I hadn’t tried yet. When I say this delivery made my week, I mean it. The package arrived in an insulated bag to keep everything fresh, and I wasted no time unboxing it—though, full disclosure, the Brownie Batter (a personal favorite) didn’t even make it to the fridge before I devoured it. Can you blame me?
So, what makes Scott’s Protein Balls so special? Beyond the fact that they’re crafted by a small business I love supporting, Lori’s story is truly inspiring. A breast cancer survivor, she turned her personal journey into a mission-driven brand, with a portion of every purchase supporting the Breast Cancer Research Fund. Fun fact: her husband, Scott, first started making these protein balls for her during treatment, and they quickly became a hit with family and friends—leading to the launch of the business.
Aside from the heartwarming backstory, these protein balls check all the boxes: they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, non-GMO, and made with all-natural ingredients that contain no preservatives or artificial flavors. Each serving has just 140-160 calories and provides 6-8 grams of protein, making them a perfect light breakfast or post-workout snack. But the best part? They taste like dessert (without the guilt). You can keep them in the fridge or freezer, so there’s always a healthy snack within reach.
If the clean ingredients don’t convince you, the flavors will. Now that I’ve sampled them all, I can confidently say my favorites are Brownie Batter, Peanut Butter Cacao, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Java Peanut Butter. But Lori also sent me Snickerdoodle (made with almond butter and cinnamon), the nut-free Confetti, and the festive Peppermint Bark. Plus, I spotted a Red Velvet flavor on their website that I need to try (#IYKYK). And for peanut butter lovers like me, they also offer Peanut Butter Cup and Cinnamon Bun, both organic with no added sugar.
With a flavor for everyone, Scott’s Protein Balls have quickly become my favorite grab-and-go snack. The individually portioned packets make them super convenient, and as someone who is always mindful of getting enough protein to fuel my busy days, they’ve been a welcome (and delicious) addition to my routine.
If you’re ready to give Scott’s Protein Balls a try, you can find them at select grocery stores across Long Island, on Amazon, or directly through their website.
