Valentines Day Cooking Class

Protein Balls

At my January cooking class I thought I would teach one of my favorite healthy go-to snacks.  These Protein Balls are FULL of flavor and nutrients.  They are a great thing to grab on your way to and from working out, and whenever you need a little snack.  Plus my kids love them!  If you call them a cookie, they will eat anything... right?!

Protein Balls

½ cup honey

½ cup agave

1 ½ cups peanut butter

3 cups oats

1 cup brown flax seeds

½ cup sesame seeds

½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut

½ cup diced almonds

½ cup pumpkin seeds

½ cup vanilla protein powder

½ cup mini chocolate chips

Mix the peanut butter and honey first until it is smooth.  Then slowly add the dry ingredients.  Mix the protein powder last, it helps to bind everything together.

Form them into balls the size of a golf balls and let them refrigerate overnight.  Store in an airtight container in fridge for up to two weeks.
