Protein Powerballs

Protein Powerballs

YUMMY & easy for on the go snacks!

Ingredients:

1 cup Uncooked Oats
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
1/3 cup Ground Flaxseed
1/2 cup Raisins
1 scoop Protein Powder
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/3 cup Raw Honey
Dab of Vanilla



Directions:

Mix it all together.  I find it easier to mix all the dry ingredients and then mix the wet ingredients.

Form them into balls and put in an airtight container.  I use a cookie scoop to make mine, but you could use your hands or a spoon.  Make sure you put wax paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking if you use a smaller container.

To decrease the stickiness, put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.  Take them out and enjoy!  They fit great in snack bags and work well in pockets for a quick on-the-go snack.

Helpful Ideas - Substitutions:

~ Don't feed to young children = contains honey and peanut butter

~ Sub in almond butter for peanut butter

~ Sub: pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, cranberries for chocolate chips or raisins

~ We use the dark chocolate chips, gives it a bolder taste

~ We use the vanilla protein powder cause it adds to the flavor

~ Due to the protein powder, you might need to add a little more peanut butter and honey to make it mix together well
