Introduction

This is a variation of a recipe my fitness instructor, Amy Nesbit, shared with us. I do them differently every time. It really depends on the ingredients I have in the house. I like to put raw sunflower seeds in them and I have done mini dark chocolate chips as well. You really can't mess them up. This particular time they were a tad dry so I added a 1/2 cup of almond milk. This worked perfectly. This is a variation of a recipe my fitness instructor, Amy Nesbit, shared with us.

Ingredients

    1 cup old fashioned oats
    1/2 cup chopped almonds
    1/4 cup chopped dates
    4 scoops whey protein (your pick)
    1/4 cup stevia (more if you like it sweeter)
    1 - 1 lb. 2 oz. jar Natural Peanut Butter
    1/2 cup Vanilla Almond Milk (only as needed-based on consistency)

    Roll balls in an additional 1/2 cup of oats before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.

Directions

Mix all dry ingredients together and then add peanut butter. Add almond milk as needed to get the consistency right for rolling into balls easily. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place ball into oats and roll for an outer coating. Now they are ready to eat! I like them a little chilled so I store them either in the freezer or the frig for on the go! Enjoy!
