Power Balls! Perfect Little Snack

This is the Perfect Fix for any sweet tooth lover or a great on the go breakfast, afternoon snack or post work out treat.  It's made out of 4 ingredients with some optional add ins.  They are easy to make and stay good for over a week in the refrigerator. 

You will need: 
-1 cup rolled oats (grind in blender, until as fine as desired.)
-1/2 cup ground flax seed
-1/2 nut butter (peanut butter for this girl)
-1/3 cup to 1/2 cup honey (start low and add more as you stir)- every time I make them it's more or less 
Options: 
-1/3 raisins
-1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
-1/4 cup chopped


Start by grinding up oatmeal, place oatmeal in bowl, stir in flax seed.  Add nut butter at room temp along with honey.  Stir until mixed will.  Everything should be sticking together.  If the mixture is dry add more nut butter and honey until well coated and sticky.  Add optional ingredients.  Use a spoon to scoop out mixture, form into balls.  Place in an air tight container, store in the refrigerator.  

They are a dense snack!  At about 100 calories for a small golf ball.  They contain lots of fiber, protein, omega 3's, and energy.  Enjoy!
