Protein Balls - My Recipe

I got on a kick this Spring and was making protein balls about once a week. My boys were eating them up as snacks, and I thought they were pretty yummy as well. I got out out the habit over the Summer, but this week am making them again. They are great to have in the fridge as they last about two weeks, longer if you put them in the freezer. You can play around with the recipe as well. Once time instead of peanut butter I used some chocolate almond butter I had in the pantry. Those were really yummy! Sometimes I add a dash of cinnamon too for some extra flavor.

Enjoy!
