Protein Balls

I discovered these "Protein Balls", as I call them, on Pinterest in my quest for clean eating snacks. These are now my go to snack of choice or breakfast on busy mornings.




No-Bake Energy Bites 

(makes 18-20 bites)

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

I keep mine in the freezer for a couple of weeks.

I mix it up each time......never the same balls twice ;)

Try dried cranberries, chopped nuts, chia seeds, dark chocolate, protein powder.........you get the idea! The website below has more ideas and explains it well.

ENJOY!!!
