Protein Energy Balls

Perfect healthy snack or breakfast (or dessert!)

Recipe:

- What I Used

3c peanut butter (extra chunky)

3c quick oats

1/2c honey

1/4c maple syrup

1/3c chia seeds

1/3c chocolate protein powder

1/2c granola

1/3c chocolate chips

2tsp nutmeg

- How-To

(1) measure out ingredients into big bowl and mix (best with hands, I used gloves)

(2) add almond flour if mixture becomes to wet/sticky

(3) roll into balls (or shape into bars) and refrigerate

Customizes:

- you can use any type of nut butter, I used extra chunky so I did not have a problem with a wet batter, but if you use smooth nut butter or an oily brand you may need to use the almond flour

- the recipe usually calls for cinnamon and vanilla but was all out of those when I made this

- original recipe also called for 3tbs of flax meal but I didn’t have that either on hand

- the granola is optional, I threw that in to replace the flax meal

- you can add any type of mix-ins (nuts, M&Ms, pumpkin seeds, bee pollen, etc)
