Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey
• 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-3 tsp of water
• dash of salt (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Place all the ingredients into a large bowl.

2. 2

   Using a spatula, or with your hands, mix everything until well combined. You need to have pliable but firm, dough-like consistency. If the mixture seems to be on the tough side and does not want to roll into a ball add more water or honey. Do it so 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir well and try rolling again.

3. 3

   If the mixture seems to be too soft that doesn’t want to hold a ball shape, add more oats. Do so 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir well and try rolling again.

4. 4

   Take a tablespoon-sized piece of dough and with the help of your palms tightly roll even balls.

5. 5

   Place rolled balls onto a sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Once chilled place the balls into an airtight container and store them in a fridge.
