Right before Christmas I decided to jump on the Pinterest homemade Protein ball/bar band wagon and tried these out. I am a cookie-aholic and these satisfied that craving but after two servings I was good, whereas with cookies it takes me like 7+. My kids loved them. I can eat one in the afternoon or after a late night workout and feel good. There are a billion different versions of these on Pinterest, but we liked this one.
No-Bake Raspberry Chocolate Protein Balls
Ingredients

- 1 cup uncooked (dry) rolled oats
- 1/3 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 scoops chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 2 Tbsp slivered almonds (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened FREEZE-DRIED raspberries (Trader Joes, or Amazon)
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips/cacao (optional).. I love Lily’s brand sweetened with stevia
Instructions
- Combine ingredients VERY well.
- Form into 1 inch balls.

I don't know why these make me nervous to try and make...I always see recipes floating around but I've never dared to try them out...so do you eat them frozen?
