Notes

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.
