Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter all-natural or almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
2/3 cup vanilla protein powder or any protein powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1/3 cup rolled oats or quick oats
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips optional
1-2 teaspoons water optional- see notes

Instructions

In a bowl, add the 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup honey. Mix to combine.
Next, add the 2/3 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/3 cup flaxseed meal, and 1/3 cup rolled oats.
Using a spatula, mix until the ingredients are well combined and a dough forms. At this point, if your dough is a bit dry, you can add 1-2 teaspoons water (see note).
Fold in the 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips and mix again to combine.
Using a one-tablespoon measuring spoon, roll about 18 balls or so using your hands.
Place them in a bowl and serve or store them in a container for up to 10 days.

Notes

Note: Most peanut butters are different. Some may be a bit drippier than most. If the dough is a bit on the loose side, you may add either a bit of oat or more protein powder to get the right dough consistency. On the other hand, if the dough is more on the dry side, add 1-2 teaspoons of water at a time and mix it in.
