Whey Peanut Butter Protein Balls
- 1 cup peanut butter runny
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup flaxseed ground
- 1 cup quick or rolled oats

Plant-Based Peanut Butter Protein Balls
- 1 cup peanut butter runny
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup quick or rolled oats
- 60 gr vanilla plant-based protein powder
- Pinch salt

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add peanut butter, honey, water, flaxseed, oats, protein powder and salt. Stir well and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Add chocolate chips and mix with spatula.
- Before rolling into balls, scoop a bit of mixture and see if it's rolling nicely. Add a bit of water or oats if necessary. Using small scoop, pack it tightly with mixture and roll. With plant-based version, I just release the scoop without rolling.

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
- Freeze: Up to 3 months in an airtight container.
- Make sure your peanut butter is runny: I recommend to melt it on the stovetop or in a microwave. If you skip this step, your protein balls might not turn out.
- Don't skip dough chilling: If you don't refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes before rolling it into balls, you will have a hard time rolling them.
