- 1/2 scoop protein powder (1 oz.)
- 1 - 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix together peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and protein powder.
3/4 c. peanut butter, 1/3 c. honey, 1 - 2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/2 scoop protein powder (1 oz.)
Add the remaining ingredients and mix.
1 c. oatmeal, 1/4 c. coconut flakes, 1/2 c. ground flaxseed, 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips or sliced almonds, if desired
Roll into about 1" balls.
Refrigerate in a closed container for up to two weeks.
If your mixture seems to dry and the balls don't want to stick together well enough, just add more peanut butter.
You can get creative with these protein balls. Sometimes I use a combination of creamy and crunchy peanut butter, half quick oats, and half rolled oats. Oftentimes I'll add sliced almonds instead of chocolate chips since I use chocolate protein powder. And sometimes I add chia seeds as well. You can add whatever you think would be good: raisins, dates, etc
They taste the best chilled.
And I always make a double batch, because they disappear quickly.
