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.
I loved these they were so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe !
