Instructions
Add peanut butter to a medium bowl. Combine with protein powder, rolled or quick oats, flaxseed, honey, and chocolate chips.
3/4 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup protein powder, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, 3 tbsp chocolate chips, 2 tbsp honey
Mix together. I use a wooden spoon and aim for the consistency of cookie dough.
If the mixture seems dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it’s at the right consistency. If it's too wet or sticky, adding a tablespoon at a time of protein powder or oats will do the trick.

Roll into balls with a cookie scoop or a tablespoon. You can make up to 14-16 peanut butter protein balls with this recipe.
