Peanut Butter Protein Bites

If you love peanut butter like I love peanut butter, I have a present for you—just between us PB lovers.

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BITES

2 c. peanut butter (natural, no sugar)

2 scoops chocolate protein powder

¼ c. molasses

2 T. honey (raw/local if you can)

2-3T. whole flaxseeds*

Throw it all in a bowl and mix with a silicone spatula. It’ll turn into the consistency of play dough so get your hands in there and knead it when it does. Form little, bite-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Freeze for an hour or two.

*The whole flaxseeds have virtually no flavor and give your protein balls a little bit of a crunch which I love, so I put the whole 3 tablespoons in there. If you’re a little leery about it, go ahead and put 2 and see how you like them.

These are a great, quick snack when you’re getting into the Hunger Danger Zone. They can save you from breaking down and hitting up that vending machine until you’re able to get a proper lunch in you. Be sure to use the hashtag #JDhealthysnacking if you’d like to share your snacks on Insta!
