RECIPE THIRTY SEVEN: Friday November 24th - protein energy balls

BACK STORY:
Molly Martin brought these "energy balls" to work during an HR health day. I thought they were so great I asked for the recipe. 

NOTES:
This is incredibly easy and I plan to make to just keep a batch on hand for breakfast snacks, camping etc. It calls for an incredible amount of honey which is justified as it (along with the peanut butter) keeps everything together. I had to buy flax seed and chia seed but they both are worth it and you can get in bulk easily. I did not get ground flax seed, and after trying to grind it with my mortar and pestle, I gave up and just put the flax seed in whole. No complaints so far.

STARS: 
5 out of 5. Easy recipe, delicious, healthy, and transportable!

RECIPE:
from Molly Martin:

No Bake Energy Balls:
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Combine all ingredients. Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes. Remove dough and roll into balls. Enjoy!
