Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Protein Balls

Protein balls are such a great and healthy snack, and so versatile!  I've been having a lot of fun coming up with different variations.  Stay tuned for more!

I know some people don't love fruit in their desserts - i.e., raisins in their cookies, but trust me on this one.  The very small amount of raisins in these protein balls adds just the right amount of sweetness to offset the salty peanut butter.  So if you are one of those people (ahem - my husband!) I encourage you to be open to it!  It just may change your life :)

Here's how to make them!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Protein Balls
1.5 cups gluten free rolled oats
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain)
​2 Tbls. raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon

I blended my oats in the Ninja for a few pulses to make an oat-y/whole oats mix, but totally up to you!  Then throw them into a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.  Using a hand mixer, mix the ingredients until combined.  

Roll into balls.  I used a cookie scoop that is about a tablespoon (#70).  My recipe made 28!  Store in a container or freezer bag in the fridge or freezer and pull one or two out when you're ready to eat.  ENJOY!  XO
