Protein Balls

I was looking for a snack that would be filling and include some protein to eat before i workout. I had always seen the posts on pinterest for the protein balls. There are so many different varieties but i was looking for something simple and fast.This is the one i found, i modified it slightly but not much.


You need oatmeal, protein powder, (any flavor will do) Peanut butter (i bought the cheap stuff) and Honey.


You literally just dump it all in a bowl and mix until it is all incorporated.


Form into balls and then keep refrigerated.

This recipe makes about 15 balls depending on how big you make them.

Protein Balls
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 scoop protein powder

That's it. Super easy and they are really yummy and filling. I find that sometimes mine are pretty sticky so i have  been adding in an extra 1/4 cup of the oatmeal so they aren't super sticky still. It is kid friendly. Kendall helps make them and enjoys eating them too and they make a great before bedtime snack cause they are so filling.
