Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oats
- 1 ½ cups coconut
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder for kids, can use other flavors too!
- other mix-ins!
Instructions
- In blender or food processor blend oats, then coconut to a more fine texture. You dont want them to be too fine- like flour.
- In food processor or stand mixer using paddle attachment- add all ingredients into bowl. Mix until all ingredients are all incorporated and evenly distributed. You want the texture to be a little sticky and not too dry. If adding in extra mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit or other powders add a little more honey and peanut butter.
- Roll into a ball the size of your preference. I like a 1 inch ball equals about 2 bites. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in freezer for two hours. Remove and place into an air tight container. Store in fridge for 1-2 weeks. Freezer for 3 months. To thaw- separate balls and let sit at room temp for about 15 minutes.

Notes
- Try using another type of nut butter like almond or cashew, or use a seed butter to make these protein balls nut-free.
- Make this recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy chocolate chips and plant-based protein powder. You can also make it vegan by substituting maple syrup for the honey.
- Keep the balls stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
