Protein Balls

I made this recipe up after I tried a type of protein ball that had potential but wasn't my favorite. So, as a way to sneak in some flax seed into my kids snacks, these are deeeliiicciouusss. They LOVE these! It's a nice healthy treat that you can play around with to make your own. Toss in some protein powder or something you love!

What you will need:

• 1 1/2 C uncooked oats
• 1/2 C peanut butter
• 1/3 C honey
• 2/3 C coconut
• 1/2 C ground flax seed
• 1 1/2 C rice krispies (I use gluten free)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 C chocolate chips (optional. I like to put these in asap so that they melt into everything as I stir. Sooo yummy!)

Directions:

• Add all ingredients except for honey and peanut butter into medium sized bowl
• Over medium heat, mix peanut butter and honey together until well blended and they've reduced into a thinner mixture
• Pour peanut butter/honey mixture over the ingredients in the bowl
• Mix well
• Scoop into balls and let them firm up
