Nut-butter protein balls
Ingredients
1 cup all natural nut-butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc. I used Adam's PB)
1 cup agave nectar
1 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla are best, I used vanilla)
For the remainder of add ins you can mix and match anything really, as long as it equals
4 cups of add-ins
I did:
1 cup of oatmeal
1/2 cup of flax seed
1/2 cup of pb2
1 cup of carob chips unsweetened (or dark chocolate/ semi-sweet chips)
1 cup coconut flakes
(Other add in ideas: Peanuts, almonds, granola, raisins, craisens, walnuts, sunflower seeds, cereal, wheat germ... etc)
Instructions:
Mix nut butter, agave, and protein powder together in bowl.
Mix in the 4 cups of add-ins.
To have awesome consitency, experiment with adding a bit more agave if it's too dry. Or add more dry ingredients if too moist. The balls should have a solid shape but not be too gooey.
Make them into 1 inch balls and then refrigerate or freeze:). I usually get around 25 balls with this recipe.
Nutritional info is going to vary with add ins but if you go my route here is the breakdown per ball:
