Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir the cashew butter and honey together.
  • Then, add the protein powder, oats, chia seeds, and flaxseed to the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. The mixture will be thick, so add 1 tablespoon of milk to thin it out if needed. NOTE: you want it to be thick, but you should easily be able to roll it into balls.
  • Use your hands to roll the mixture into 24 balls. Leave them as-is, or sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and/or sea salt.
  • Store balls in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are for 1 ball and are an estimation
*NOTE: the thickness of the mixture will depend on the kind of cashew butter you use. The first time I made these the mixture was THICK, so I had to add 2 tablespoon of milk to thin it out; the second time I made them, the mixture was just right, so I didn't add any milk.
