Chocolate Protein Power Balls or Bars
A great companion to any ice cream! This recipe is very flexible! You can mix and match ingredients according to your liking :)
1c. natural nut butter- peanut, almond, or cashew (For best results: don't use the oily part if it has already separated out)
2-3 Tbsp. Honey, agave or maple syrup
1/2c. chocolate or vanilla protein powder (Protein-based or whey)
4 Tbsp. Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1c. rolled oats
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
2 Tbsp. flax seed
1 Tbsp. cacao nibs (optional)
1/4-3/4c. almond milk (varies)
Power Balls:
- If the nut butter is too thick, microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for 15 seconds at a time until it's smooth.
- In a mixer or large bowl, mix nut butter, honey, cacao powder, and protein powder.
- Add in rolled oats, chia seeds, flax seeds and cacao nibs and stir well.
- Add almond milk 1/4c. at a time until mixture starts to form into a ball with little clumps on the side. You may want to use your hands to mix at this point.
- Roll mixture into balls about 1-1/5 inches in diameter, making sure to squeeze together the mixture for a more solid ball. Place balls onto a plate or cookie sheet. Place in fridge for 15 minutes to set.
Power Bars:
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or spray with coconut oil spray.
- If the nut butter is too thick, microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for 15 seconds at a time until it's smooth.
