1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to the bowl.
Using a sturdy rubber spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until a firm, consistent dough forms.

Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture into uniform balls.
Roll the portions between your palms to shape them into smooth balls.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or additional peanut butter. If too wet, add more oats. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
