Thanks to Sarah, we started making these Protein Balls (she calls them Dragon Balls) which we all love. They are so easy to make, and keep for quite a long time.

For our family we use them:

  • during all wrestling tournaments and sporting events.
  • to take with or even for lunch, especially when you want something light.
  • to satisfy a craving. Hits the spot!
  • when you need that boost in energy.
  • to curb fast food purchases.

This recipes makes about 30 balls.

You’ll need dry ingredients:

  • 2 cups of Oats (we buy gluten free when we can and not quick cook, just regular)
  • 2 scoops of a protein powder of your choice (we use hemp currently)
  • 1 scoop of a superfruit, like goji powder
  • 1 scoop cacoa powder
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped fruit. Maybe even a little bit of both!

You’ll need wet ingredients:

  • 1 cup of organic peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey (raw is best)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix all the dry ingredients together in one bowl. In another bowl mix all your wet ingredients together.
Using a mixer you can blend everything together into one bowl. I do this recipe by hand personally.
Once all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed, you can start making rounded balls.
I roll balls and place in a tupperware container, or plastic bag.
Once they are all done I place all the balls into the freezer to harden. You can use your fridge but I prefer the freezer.

Let them remain in fridge or freezer for about 1-2 hours, and then enjoy!

Let us know what variations you create. We’d love to try them out.
