Bird Food Balls

Happy day before hump day! Before I share my big news, I wanted to start off with a delicious recipe. I made some awesomely addicting protein balls for a pre-triathlon snack. These guys feature my new biff MILLET PUFFS! [have you seen my newest vlog yet?]  Look how cute they are..

Bird Food Balls [no bake peanut butter protein balls]

Ingredients

• 1C Millet Puffs
• 1/3C oats, raw
• 1/3C almond meal
• 1/3C raisins
• 1/4C sunflower seeds, raw
• 2T chia seeds (or flax)
• 1/4C peanut butter, smooth
• 4-5T honey
• 1T water
  

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients.

2. Using a microwave, melt the peanut butter so it becomes drippy. I nuked mine for about 20 seconds.

3. Poor peanut butter, honey, and water over mixture and toss. You want everything to be fully coated. You may need to add a little bit more water depending on the consistency.

4. Create balls the size of your palm. A trick I used to get the mixture to stick together was getting my hands a little bit wet before trying to form the balls.

5. Refrigerate

If you’ve ever had a peanut butter and honey sandwich, Bird Food Balls taste just like that but BETTER. They are packed with healthy fats, protein, whole grains, and fiber.   

And now, what you’ve all been waiting for………
