Recipe: Protein Peanut Butter Balls



2T organic natural peanut butter or almond butter
2T sliced almonds
1/2c vanilla protein powder
2T plain greek yogurt
1T dried fruit (if you like, although I don't think you need it, the powder is sweet enough)
2T organic un-sweet coconut flakes, or 2T flax seeds as seen above

Directions
   1. Mix all the ingredients except the coconut flakes
   2. Roll into a small sized golf ball
   3. Roll ball in coconut or flax seeds
   4. Refrigerate or eat right away

This makes one serving, I usually multiply this by 10 and store in fridge for the week. Be careful with this though, these are some good balls and do not over eat!! They have quite a bit of calories- about 300 depending on the protein powder you use, but it is a healthy protein-packed, healthy fat snack. If you wanted to reduce the calories make smaller balls or cut the protein in half. Enjoy your balls! ;)
