Power Balls

This is a recipe I make a lot, especially when I got off of refined sugars.  It is a great thing to have on hand to eat before working out, or in-between meals as a snack, and my kids love them too.  You could basically put in the kitchen sink, but this is the mixture I have liked best.

Power Balls

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened if you prefer)
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
3 cups rolled oats
1/2-1 cup of mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

Mix the peanut butter, agave and honey together till smooth.  In a big bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.  Slowly add the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients.  Mix in the protein powder last.  It will help to bind everything together.  Form them into balls, or use a muffin sized scooper and place them on a cookie sheet.  Refrigerate over night.  Store in an airtight container in the fridge.  You can freeze in baggies what you won't eat right away, and pull them out as needed.

*I like to use half agave, half honey.  But you can do a cup of one or the other.
