Here is a recipe that I have been making for years for my kids. I change it up from time to time, but the basics stay the same. The great thing about protein power balls is that you can customize them to fit your taste buds. Change up flavors, add fun extras, or keep them simple.
Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked rolled oats, 1/2 cup peanut or almond butter, 1/3 cup ground flaxseed, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup.
Optional add ons: 1 scoop flavored protein powder ( I used Carmel macchiato from 1 Up nutrition), chocolate chips, cacao nibs, cacao powder, shredded coconut, or dried fruit. Let me know if you have any good add-on ideas!
Directions: add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well. The consistency should be sticky and bind together. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
After the mixture has been chilled for an hour, remove from fridge and roll into small or medium sized balls. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for a quick snack. You can freeze them too!
