Energizing Protein Balls

 There are several ways you can make these protein ball. I want to make these as healthy as I can and without preservatives and other unwanted food additives. I made this batch with home Made peanut butter. Yum!!

Homemade Peanut Butter

My kids LOVE these delicious protein balls. So I wanted to share them with you! They are great for parties, dessert, a quick pick me up snack.

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Makes 48 cookies

• 1 Cup Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, or Seed Butter
• 2/3 cup raw honey or agave
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup flax meal
• 2 cups oats (use Gluten Free oats if needed)
• 1 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
•  48 large Dark Chocolate chips
  • OTHER OPTIONS:
  • ¼ mini chocolate chips
  • Raisin

Mix all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Roll into 1 inch balls. Press down on a plate or cookie sheet until slightly flattened. Press a large, dark chocolate chip into the middle of each cookie. Refrigerate or keep at room temperature.

**If you are adding mini chocolate chips vs. large chips then mix chips in the mix before rolling. 

This takes 5 minutes or less to mix; 5-10 minutes to roll into balls.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!
