Low-Glycemic* Shaklee Protein Balls
By Suni Ferrer

Makes 24 balls total or 12 snack servings (2 balls per serving)
Gluten-free & Dairy-free

• 4 scoops vanilla or any flavor Shaklee Life Shake Mix (non-GMO plant-based protein powder with probiotics and Omega-3s)
• ½ cup natural peanut butter or any nut/seed butter (the oily kind you need to stir)
• ¼ cup honey or less
• 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if gluten-intolerant)
• If necessary, add enough purified water to be able to shape into balls without crumbling (add 2 Tbsp water at a time).

Want it sweeter?… Add a few drops of liquid stevia to taste. Safe organic brands: Sweet Leaf and Trader Joe’s.

Optional toppings and mix-ins… My favorite toppings are crushed freeze-dried strawberries, blueberries & chocolate, cinnamon, and coconut. Easy toppings to roll balls on are: cinnamon mix (1 tsp cinnamon plus 1 tsp vanilla Shaklee Life protein), coconut flakes, any crushed freeze-dried fruit (strawberry, blueberry, jackfruit, apple, etc), raw cacao or cocoa powder, chia seeds, sesame seeds, melted natural chocolate chips , orange creamsicle mix (1 tsp Performance Orange plus 1 tsp vanilla Shaklee Life protein), any crushed nuts, or any super seed/grain blend. You can also simply roll in more Shaklee Life protein to make them look like donut holes.

Directions (and free therapy, LOL): In a bowl or large rectangular mold, mix all ingredients except water with hands to form a smooth stiff dough. If too crumbly, add water to entire mix, 2 Tbsp of water at a time until you can easily form balls that don’t fall apart. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Roll the balls on a small amount of topping. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate. Store in the fridge for up to 4-7 days.
