What could be a better snack then something high in protein, low in calories, easy to make, you don’t have to cook it, and it’s made entirely from whole food earth grown nutrients??
Well since I love food, nothing is better than that!
Today I am going to bring you an awesome recipe myself and Kirsten made before the super bowl last weekend as our game time snack.
It’s healthy, extremely simple to make and the best part yet… it truly taste much better than the junk they were serving at the super bowl party!
This great snack is called “Boom Boom’s Protein Ball”.
This recipe is also awesome because you can make a ton of different flavors. You have the same exact base “dough”, I guess you could call it, and then mix in some different toppings/ingredients to make the flavor of your choice.
Today, I’m going to show you my top two favorite flavors.
First will be “Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter” and the second will be “Blueberry Coconut”.
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Ingredients:
- 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter (Crunchy or Creamy)
- ½ Cup Rolled Oats
- ¼ Cup Ground Flaxseed
- 2 Scoops Vanilla Protein
- 2 Tbsp. Agave (Honey Works Too)
- ½ Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 4-6 Tbsp. Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1-3 Tbsp. Water (Add in as you mix to create best consistency)
Instructions:
- Add protein powder, oats, and flaxseed into large bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Then add in all other ingredients, besides water, and mix again.
- Water goes in last, as it is just there to help loosen up the mixture to allow you to fully mix ingredients together.
- Roll into balls, chill in fridge for an hour or more. (If you’re really hungry… throw it in the freezer so you can feast sooner!)
