Peanut Butter Protein Poppers

Sometimes you just need a little bit of energy when you are on the go and these delicious little balls make for a perfect bite sized snack (for both adults and kids!) The recipe below is geared at an older audience, but I have included a kid friendly variation below. 

In a bowl combine: 

• 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, cashew, or if all you have on hand is peanut butter that works too. For this recipe I used the nut and seed butter from Costco) 
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 2/3 cup quick oats
• 2 TBSP hemp protein powder
• 2 scoops natural flavour protein powder (or protein powder of your choice)  
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional) 
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional) 

For a kid friendly recipe, replace the two protein powders with: 

• 1/3 cup more quick oats
• 3 TBSP ground flax seed

Roll mixture into 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper. Put into freezer of fridge to set. Can be enjoyed freshly made, or frozen for a snack down the road. Enjoy!
