Protein Balls make with Shaklee Protein

Low-Glycemic* Protein Balls - made with Shaklee protein

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 100% maple syrup (use half for less sweet)
• 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). UPDATE: instead of water, you can add the juice and zest of one lemon or lime, it tastes amazing!

Want it sweet with less honey?… Substitute all or part of the honey with water and 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 topping flavors are strawberries, blueberries chocolate, cinnamon, coconut, orange creamsicle, and almond mint (add mint extract to basic recipe and then roll in crushed almonds). Easy toppings to roll balls on are: cinnamon mix (1 tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp vanilla Shaklee Life protein), coconut flakes, any crushed freeze-dried fruit (strawberry, blueberry, jackfruit, apple, peaches, etc), raw cacao or cocoa powder, chia seeds, sesame seeds, melted natural chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand is dairy-free), orange creamsicle mix (1 tsp Performance Orange + 1 tsp vanilla Shaklee Life protein), any crushed nuts, any super seed/grain blend, or any combination of the above. Get creative and have fun with it! You can also simply roll in more Shaklee Life protein to make them look like donut holes.

Directions (and free therapy!!!): 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 1 Tablespoon of “dough” for each ball. Roll the balls on a small amount of topping. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate to harden for about 20 minutes or faster in the freezer. Store in the fridge for up to 4-7 days.
