Muscle Recovery Protein Bites

Yields30 Servings
The Basics (K.I.S.S.)
 1 cup Old Fashioned or Quick Cook Oats (Gluten Free if preferred)
 1 cup Organic Rice Cereal (think: Rice Krispies, but without the sugar)
 ¾ cup Peanut Butter (crunchy or smooth)
 ½ cup Peanuts
 ¼ cup Maple Syrup or Local Honey (honey will help hold together better)
 1 pinch Sea Salt
Optional Additions
 1 Scoop Vanilla, Chocolate, or Peanut Butter Flavored Protein Powder (optional)
 ¼ cup Mini Chocolate Chips (or hard shelled candy like M&M's) (optional)
 1 tbsp Chia Seeds (optional)
 ¼ cup Ground Flax Seeds (optional)
 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (if too dry - depending on how many extras you use)
1

Add all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

2

Stir until combined completely.

3

Use a cookie dough scoop or a metal spoon to scoop out even(ish) amounts to roll into balls.

NOTES:
-If the combination is too wet, consider adding some of the dry "extra/optional" ingredients or just more of the oats or rice cereal until desired consistency.
-If combination is too dry, add the coconut oil and/or more peanut butter until desired consistency.

4

Roll into balls using your hands, and place in a single layer onto a cookie sheet (line with wax or parchment paper if you love easier cleanup).

5

Place cookie sheet with finished/rolled protein bites into fridge for about an hour or freezer for about 30 minutes in order to set them.

6

Place cooled/hardened Protein Bites into an airtight storage container, and store in fridge for 1-2 weeks (not that they will last that long)!
