Protein Balls

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup uncooked oats (gluten free)

• ¾ cup unsweetened almond butter (can substitute peanut butter)

• ¼ cup honey

• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut plus more to roll balls in, if desired

• ¼ cup flaxseeds

• ¼ cup chia seeds

• 1/2 cup clean vanilla protein powder (see notes below for brands)

• 3-4 Tbsp unsweetened plant/nut based milk

• ¼ cup cocoa nibs  (can also use mini dark chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.  Scoop into balls and store in fridge. If dough is too sticky, put in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before forming into balls.  Optional: roll balls into more shredded coconut. Should last 2 weeks in refrigerator.

NOTES:

• I use a cookie dough scoop to make the balls.

• Perfect mid-morning or afternoon pick-me up snack.  Will also satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt! 

• I like using the following brands: Orgain Organic, Primal Kitchen Collagen Protein powder and Perfect Keto brands.  If you're not sensitive to dairy, try Terra's Whey Organic.
