Protein Bites

Since finding out that I am allergic to Soy I haven't been able to find any protein bars. Majority of all protein bars have soy protein or soy lecithin in them. I used to always rely on a protein bar to give me energy and keep me full throughout the day. My best friend Anabel found this recipe for some quick and extremely easy protein bites. I made these yesterday and they are wonderful!

 

Ingredients:

1 cup (dry) oatmeal (old-fashioned oats)

1 cup toasted coconut flakes

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1/3 cup honey

1 tsp. vanilla

 

Directions:

Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. Mine were a little larger than a tbsp. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
