These are such a great morning or afternoon pick me up. I personally love eating one (or two) in the morning with a cup of coffee or as a post workout snack. These energy balls are also great for mamas breastfeeding because the oats support lactation.
Ingredients:
2 cups GF Rolled oats or puffed quinoa
1 cup of natural organic peanut butter (keep the peanut butter room temperature before making these. It is easier to mix)
3 Tbsp raw organic honey (add more if you like it sweeter)
3 Tbsp chia seeds
3 Tbsp ground flaxseed
3 Tbsp hemp seeds
1/2 tsp salt (if the nut butter doesn’t have any)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
In a big bowl or standing mixer, combined all of the ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. Don’t be afraid to get messy. Remember you can’t make this recipe wrong so follow your body’s intuition of what you want more or less off.
Grab a tupperware and roll the batter into Tbsp sized balls. Space out the balls evenly and put directly into the freezer.
Let them sit for a minimum of 30-minutes before digging in. I personally, love to store them in the freezer so they have a great crunch, but you can also move them to the fridge if you like them softer.
Enjoy each bite mindfully!
