I have been making these yummy Protein Energy Balls for years and always try to make a little different version! They are the perfect post workout snack, or a great thing to send with the kids to school in their lunch. They are packed with healthy fat, fiber, protein and energy from the carbohydrates in the gluten free oats. I used peanut butter, but you can sub almond, cashew or sunflower seed butter. You are going to love these!!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup flaxseed meal

1 tsp vanilla

12 tsp sea salt

1 scoop protein powder (I like Sprout Living Vanilla Lucuma)

1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes, This will make them less sticky and easier to roll. Form into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hr. Store in the refrigerator and remove a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
