Hi Carly’s Crew!

I hope you didn’t forget about me while I was taking some time off for reading break 😉 Don’t worry I definitely didn’t forget about you! As promised I have a new recipe to share with you this week folks…Peanut Butter Protein Balls. There are so many varieties of protein balls but I wanted one with lots of seeds and no chocolate chips. I found this one on Detox Insta! Here is a list of other recipes that I looked at and want to try eventually!

Here is the step-by-step picture breakdown:

Step 1: Pull out ingredients.

Step 2: Mix all together in a large bowl. (I had to use a spoon because a spatula wasn’t working very well)

Step 3: Roll into small bite sized balls and place onto parchment paper.

Step 4: Let cool in fridge for at least an hour and then store in an air-tight container… That is ALL!

Difficulty level : 2/10

These took me about 10 minutes to whip up and the clean up was super quick as well. I had to go out and buy some flax seeds but I am planning on using flax seeds in my upcoming recipes so I decided to purchase the big bag.

Deliciousness level: 8/10

Yum yum yum! I am a peanut butter fan so I am biased but lets be real… peanut butter anything is always delicious. The seeds in these make them super filling which is always a plus. Even just one ball is enough to fill me up for a little snack. They are a little bit too crumbly but I think it could have been solved by adding some extra peanut butter or honey to make them less dry.

If you have never made protein balls I would highly recommend them! They are quick and easy for meal prep but they also last a while in the freezer so you can always make a large batch in one setting. This recipe is definitely a staple that I will be making again sometime in the near future.

Next week I will be making overnight oats and researching the benefits of them. Overnight oats are all the rage on health blogs right now but I have never tried them; I usually just have the packaged oatmeal that has tons of added sugar and never really fill me up.

Can’t wait to share my findings with you next week!

Catch you soon Carly’s Crew!
