This recipe is SO EASY - and literally delicious! Each little energy ball contains 5 grams of protein, making this an easy grab-and-go snack. Aways running out the door - or to the gym? These are great fuel for a work-out or post-work out muscle repair! This recipe was a game-changer snack for me, as a first year college student and a busy mom. *This recipe is great for the kids too.

Gather Ingredients:

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup flax seeds or ground flaxseed
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
1/3 cup honey
(Optional) 1 tbsp hemp hearts (or chai seeds)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Let's Get Mixing:

Gather ingredients and a large mixing bowl. Mix all ingredients together until mixed well.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until mix is firm and easier to handle.
Line a container with parchment paper, and roll mixture into 1-inch balls. (The parchment paper helps them not stick together)
Store in the fridge and enjoy!

*The ingredients in this recipe support healthy muscle repair, sustains energy levels and is a great source of healthy fats and proteins.
