World's easiest recipe, kid friendly, kind of fun, mostly sticky but a whole latta good-for-you.
Protein Balls. These little guys are something I even up eating for breakfast every morning come Spring. I know we're not there yet, guys but I am dreaming of sunshine and sand all ready. When I'm in the early months of the year it's hard for me grasp that it's technically still winter. Especially when Spring fashion has already started. It's absolute torture.
These protein packed snacks give me a little taste of summer mornings that I need to get through the dreary PNW weather. For the record, I do eat these. I have many co-workers who can attest to this because they often ask for them... or the recipe. Hence, why it's going up on the blog.
You're right, it's not a salad, but it's sunshine rolled up in a ball! And who'd going to argue with that??
Shall we get down to business?
These lil' guys are a breeze. You literally add everything into a bowl, mix it together and then form into balls. Place on wax paper, let them sit in the fridge, separate into baggies and you've got breakfast, snacks and dessert for the whole week.
Keep in mind, these are higher in calories due to the peanut butter. If you have a peanut allergy, can sub the peanut butter with any other nut butter. For those with a tree nut allergy, I'm sorry, this recipe has both coconut AND walnuts in it. (Sorry, Sister!)
What I do love about these is how you can mix them up. You can add what you love and take out what you don't. I have a few other recipes for protein balls. I'll definitely share them if you guys are interested. Just let me know in the comments below.
