Quick and easy cookie dough protein balls! Makes 10 bars or 28 balls
Ingredients
1½ cups quick oats (not instant or old fashioned)
⅓ cup ground flax (could also use chia seeds)
4 scoops (or 1 cup) vanilla whey protein (I used Whey Gourmet)
½ cup peanut butter or almond butter
3 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp raisins (or use additional chocolate chips)
½ cup cold water
*Optional* stevia drops. Taste the dough. If you find it isn't sweet enough, simply add some stevia drops, to taste.
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, adding the water last. Knead with hands until mixed.
Option 1: Press into a 8x8 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Place in freezer for 20-30 minutes, cut into 10 bars, wrap each bar in plastic wrap, then return to freezer to store.
Option 2: Roll into balls, place in fridge or freezer in airtight container.
