Let’s face it – LONG INGREDIENTS LISTS SCARE ME!!!! I’m not even joking – I legit have exited out of recipes when I saw that the ingredients list was too long… am I the only one?
Of course, I’m a fan of making slightly more extravagant meals once in a while… but on a daily basis when I’m just trying to get through the day and get food in my stomach, I want my food to be simple and easy to make. One of the ways to make your meals easier is to SIMPLIFY. Simplify your recipes by simplifying your ingredients. The less ingredients you need to worry about, the better!
Not only are these recipes only consisting THREE INGREDIENTS (I know, I can hardly believe it myself), they are also HIGH PROTEIN recipes. I wanted to make sure that you would still be able to be FULL from these three ingredient recipes.
These are also APOCALYPSE FRIENDLY! Ingredients that you can store and find easily in your pantry. So no running to the grocery store every time you wanna make one of these.
I even screenshot the nutrition information that I got from inputting these recipes into MyFitnessPal, a calorie counting app!
So if you are ready for these… let’s see what all the fuss is about!
Three Ingredient High Protein Bean Balls
Ingredients (makes about 20 balls):

- 1.5-2 cups almond flour (substitute oat flour if preferred)
- around 1/2 cup almond flour (or other kind of flour, or breadcrumbs) to coat
Instructions:
- Add chickpeas into a food processor and pulse a few times until mashed OR mash with a fork or masher.
- Add mashed chickpeas into a large mixing bowl along with the pasta sauce and almond flour. Mix everything well. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more almond flour (or any other kind of flour).
- Add the 1/2 cup of almond flour onto a plate. Form small balls out of the chickpea mixture and coat each ball with the almond flour.
- Cook in the air fryer (OR in a preheated oven) at 370 degrees for 20-25 minutes OR until slightly browned and firmed, flipping half way.
