Recipe #2: "GOOse Balls"

Some of you may be too young to remember buying goo balls from a girl in a patchwork skirt, with flowers in her hair and a wicker basket, but some of your parents might! Goo balls were typically infused snacks with all sorts of goodies added in to your liking. This recipe wont be infused but feel free to DIY. These GOOse Balls will be packed with protein to give you tons of energy and can be customized with all sort of fun add ins!

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Oats
1 cup Peanut Butter
¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup
2 scoops Chocolate Protein Powder (chocolate milk powder will work also but may get a bit sweet)
2 Tablespoons Chocolate Chips
1 pinch Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together and roll into balls. If the mixture seems a bit dry just add a few drops of water until the right consistency is reached. You can add in things like hemp, flax or chia seed, crushed nuts, etc. Just remember the more you add to the base recipe, you might need to add a little liquid to balance it.

2. After you make your balls you can roll them in:

Coconut
Cereal (Seasonal Monster Cereals might be a good choice this time of year)
Candies
Nuts
Pretzels
Seeds
Spinkles
