• 3 tbsp Ground flaxseed*
• 1- Scoop of Protein powder**
• 3-Tbsp of Dark Chocolate Chips***

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix all ingredients together until fully incorporated.
2. Make 1-inch balls (appx 1 tbsp. - we find a large melon baller works great, especially if you prefer smaller bite-size balls)
3. Refrigerate to firm (but they are so good you'll love them room temp. too)
4. Enjoy as an "on-the-go" breakfast or a mid-day snack.

*can substitute quick oats for flaxseed - it does change the texture
**we have made this with both Chocolate and Vanilla Protien powder and either one tastes YUMMY!!!
***you can add the chips in whole or chop them up for small bursts of chocolate if you prefer. Either way - you can't go wrong.
