Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites

Give me nuts or give me seeds! Wait, give me both. Try a couple of these bites with a sliced apple to get over that 3pm slump. They are full of protein and really take care of your sweet tooth. Really, they are almost like peanut butter cookies without the mess of baking up a batch.

Ingredients (makes 28-30):

1 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup

1 cup instant oats

1 scoop protein powder (I use unflavored whey protein powder, you do you)

¼ cup ground flax seeds

1/2 cup roasted, salted sunflower seed kernels

1/2 cup salted or unsalted pepitas (shelled and roasted pumpkin seeds)

Directions: Stir the peanut butter, vanilla and honey/agave together in a bowl. Add in the oats, protein powder, flax seeds, sunflower kernels and pepitas. Mix until well combined. Roll into 1 inch balls. Store in the fridge. That’s it!
