How to Make the Protein Energy Balls
All you need for this recipe is blender or food processor, a mixing bowl, and 7 simple ingredients!
You will need oat flour, peanut butter or any nut butter of your choice, maple syrup or agave, chocolate protein power (I used one from Orgain), plant milk (I used unsweetened almond), vanilla extract, and vegan chocolate chips! If you prefer a milder flavor than peanut butter, I suggest subbing almond butter for the peanut butter as it is milder in taste. You could also sub out the chocolate chips for other add ins if you wanted to make different flavored energy balls! As long as you have the oat flour, liquid sweetener, a nut butter, and any plant based protein powder than you are good to go!
