Protein Energy Bites Recipe

I made these tasty snacks the other night and they are perfect for before a workout!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oats
• 2 scoops protein powder (I used Cellucor peanut butter marshmallow)
• 1 cup peanut butter (I put a quarter cup of natural chocolate peanut butter with the regular to equal a cup)
• 1/2 c natural honey
• 2 tbs coconut flakes (optional)
• 1/4 c dried fruit (optional)

Directions:

Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together. A wooden spoon works great. Add the peanut butter and honey. Mix as well as you can with the spoon, but I eventually used my hands just to get everything really thoroughly mixed. After everything is mixed really well start forming small balls from the mixture. Place on a nonstick pan (preferably with parchment paper) and put in the fridge. I let mine sit over night and then placed them in a zip lock bag the next morning, but I prefer keeping them in the fridge and eating cold. 

Feel free to use whatever nut butter you prefer as well as additives likes whole nuts, carob chips, chia seeds etc. 

Enjoy!
