A Healthy Snack

Finding fun and healthy snacks the entire family loves can be a chore!  I wanted to share a quick snack that I find super easy to make and everyone in my family enjoys!  I even pack them in my daughter's lunch boxes for school some days!

PB Protein Balls

Now, I know there are several recipes out there for these, but many add unnecessary sugars/honey.  I do not measure anything when I make mine.  I just add things until I get the consistency that I want.  Here is what goes into my PB Balls:

All Natural Peanut Butter (Nothing added)

A scoop of honey, if I had to guess, I'd say about 1-2 Tablespoons for the entire batch.  (I use natural RAW honey.)

Ground Flax See

Chia Seeds

That is my base.  From here, depending on your diet restrictions, beliefs or goals you can add:

*  Chocolate chips (I would recommend buying these in the whole foods section and making sure they are dairy and soy free.)

*  Rolled Oats (If you are not gluten free.)

* Smashed up Chex Squares (For an added crunch.)  - Although this is not something I add because it is a completely processed food, I do have other trainer friends that enjoy this.

That's it!  Mix together in a big bowl, form small balls and refrigerate to keep shape.  Its simple, quick and easy take along with you!
