Ingredients

PROTEIN BALLS:

  • 2 cups  organic Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Peanut Butter (Justin's has a great version)
  • 2 Tbsps chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
  • ½ cup raw honey (See Notes!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegan chocolate, chopped (You can also use chocolate chips)
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

MIX TOGETHER INGREDIENTS:

  • In a bowl, add all ingredients and mix together using a spoon or spatula to ensure that all ingredients are combined.
  • Using a spoon, scoop mixture (about 1 ½-2 Tbsps) and using both hands—roll into a small ball. Repeat until all mixture is made. NOTE: Place each protein ball unto a baking sheet (can be lined with parchment) side by side to help them keep their form.

CHILL BALLS:

  • Now, refrigerate protein balls to help them harden and "set", about 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove from refrigerator and enjoy!
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Can be kept refrigerated (covered) for up 2 weeks.
  • NUT BUTTER: Instead of using peanut butter, you can also substitute with Almond Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter, Tahini, Soynut Butter, Pecan Butter, Hazelnut Butter, or Granola Butter.
  • VEGAN OPTION: To make these protein balls vegan-friendly, simply substitute the honey with pure maple syrup, date syrup, etc.
