Quick and easy crispy peanut butter protein balls
INGREDIENTS
1½ cups oatmeal (I use old fashioned oats)
½ cup peanut butter or other nut butter (I like crunchy but creamy works fine)
½ cup honey
⅓ cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)
½ cup crispy rice cereal
1 teaspoon vanilla
Ground Flax/ Whey Protein Powder or Chia seeds (optional)- mine have 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
Place mixture in fridge to chill for about an hour.
Remove and begin spooning a small amount of the mixture into your hands- roll into a ball.
Place in a container or zip-top bag and store in fridge.


And you can roll these into whatever size you like. I use a small cookie scoop (like this one) and mine are slightly larger than a quarter.

Also one tip- I use good quality chocolate for this recipe My favorite chocolate chips are Nestle Mini Chips. I prefer to reduce the chips by half & add a Tbsp of coco powder.
