Nutritional Information: 2 balls = 3 oz. protein, 1 tbsp fat, 1/4 cup carbs
Makes approximately 25 balls
Preparation time: 7 minutes
* 1 cup almond butter or natural peanut butter (or try both mixed half and half)
* 1/4 cup honey (raw, if you can find it)
* 3 cups dry oatmeal (pulverize dry oats in a blender or coffee grinder first, which helps form a cookie dough texture in the final balls)
* 2-3 scoops vanilla or chocolate whey protein
* 1/3 cup water
*Optional: For added flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of coconut or dark choc chips or cacoa nibs (70% or higher chocolate chips for less sugar, or straight cocao nibs for the most fiber and almost no sugar at all).
Mix together in a bowl and then roll into 1-inch balls. Eat a couple right away or freeze for an on-the-go treat anytime!
Enjoy 1 or 2 healthy cookie dough balls any time you need a quick snack during the day or for dessert.
