Peanut butter and Chocolate Chip Protein Balls

I don't know about you, but in the morning I'm usually looking for something healthy and that's easy to eat on-the-go. If that's you, look no further. Check out these simple Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Protein balls. You can make a double or triple batch and put them in the freezer to have when you're in a pinch. Pair these balls with a side of fruit for a complete breakfast of healthy fats, protein, and carbs! These have been kid-tested and they are approved :)

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of oats

• 1 cup peanut butter

• ¼ cup of protein powder (I love vanilla Shakeology)

• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds

• 1 tablespoon flax seeds

• ¼ c. honey

• ¼ c chocolate chips

• ¼ butterscotch or peanut butter chips (optional)

Directions:

• Put all dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix

• Add peanut butter and honey and mix

• Add chocolate chips and peanut butter chips last.

• Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

• Roll out golf ball sized balls.

• Store in the freezer or refrigerator.

Pro tips:

• Warm up your peanut butter in the microwave before adding it to the dry ingredients. This helps the peanut butter mix in faster.

• If the mixture seems too dry add small amounts of water to help the mixture come together.

• Lily’s chocolate chips is a good low-sugar option.

• Pair a protein ball with a piece of fruit for a balanced breakfast or protein, healthy carbs, and healthy fats!

• Store in the freezer to keep protein balls fresh.

I hope you and your family love these! Let me know in the comments if you give them a try!
