No Bake Chocolate Chip Protein Snack

I went to a Yoga and Wine class last week.  I was told "light yoga".  I thought I could do that.  I'm hear to tell you there is No Such Thing as Light Yoga!!!   It kicked my sorry little butt.  I was just really happy that I had a massage scheduled for the next day :)

No really it was a great night and showed me how I need to get movement and flexibility back into the routine.  Then it really might have been a light yoga class :)

Another bright note of the evening was the snack Lindsay made.  Chocolate Chip protein balls.  You heard the right ... I improved them a bit and made Double Chocolate Chocolate chip protein balls ... .mighty fine snackin' if I do say so myself.  And only around 130 calories each!

Enjoy!


Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Protein Balls*
1.5 c quick oats
1/3 c ground flax
4 scoops chocolate whey protein powder
1/2 c natural peanut or almond butter
2 Tbsp Enjoy Life semi sweet mini chips
3 Tbsp honey or agave
1/2 cold water

Mix everything together.  Use a medium scoop (or 2 Tbsp) and form into balls.  Freeze/store in the freezer.  These are soft enough to eat right from the freezer.

Makes 18

*Optional - add a few drops of stevia if the dough doesnt taste sweet enough
