Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
⅓ cup coconut flakes
1 ½ cups peanut butter
½ cup dark chocolate chips
⅓ cup flax seed
⅛ cup chia seeds
1 ½ tablespoon honey
⅓ cup chopped dates
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, if they last that long.

Notes

You can customize these protein balls to your liking. The oats and the peanut butter (0r other nut butter) are the mainstays. Sub in different seeds, swap maple syrup for the honey, or omit the chocolate chips and coconut.
DON'T skip the chilling part. These peanut butter protein balls really come together so much easier if you give the mixture a little time to harden up.
