No-Bake White Chocolate Protein Balls

Protein balls are a great pre-workout snack that will give you just enough energy to get going with out filling you up.  This is a quick and simple recipe to make and it is deeeelicious.  The recipe that inspired this is http://www.muscleandfitnesshers.com/recipes/no-bake-protein-oat-bars You can see I substituted the agave nectar by adding more peanut butter and honey.  I also added flaxseed (I add this in basically everything I bake) which is a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids "the good fats" and also contains a good amount of fiber.


Ingredients:

4 c.	Old fashioned oats
2 sc. ½ c. 1 ¾ c. ¼ c. 2 tsp. ½ c.	Vanilla flavor protein powder Honey Natural peanut butter Flaxseed Cinnamon White Chocolate chips (or dark choc, nuts, etc.) Note:  you can add whatever you would like in place of chocolate chips

Directions:

• Combine all dry ingredients (quick oats, protein powder, flaxseed, & cinnamon) in bowl.  Then mix in remaining ingredients adding the chocolate chips last.
• Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.  Mold mixture into balls using hand and place on baking sheet.
• Refrigerate protein balls for about 30 min. and enjoy!
