Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

A delicious, kid approved, not too sweet protein filled snack that's easy to grab on the go.

Prep time: 20 MinTotal time: 20 Min

Ingredients

• 1 cup Oats - Old Fashioned or Quick Oats
• 1 cup Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup Protein Powder - Collagen Powder or Hemp Protein Powder
• 1/2 cup Hemp Hearts
• 1/2 cup Ground Flax
• 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a bowl, mix thoroughly with a hand mixer.
2. Using a small cookie scoop, or small spoon, scoop approx 1 tablespoon of mixture. Roll into a ball between your palms to create a ball, compacting them slightly to keep them together.
3. Place in a airtight container once completed, and keep in the fridge. They will keep in the fridge for about a week, if they last that long!

Notes

I have used Old Fashioned Oats as well as Quick Oats for this, we prefer Old Fashioned Oats, but either is fine. I have only made these with Natural No Stir Peanut Butter, however, you should be able to make them with Almond Butter, or a different kind of Peanut Butter. I would just caution against using a fat free Peanut Butter as I find it doesn't seem to keep things together as well.

If you're mixing by hand, warming up the peanut butter in the microwave for 15s intervals until it's more fluid will help things come together more easily.
