Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls


About a year ago, I rekindled my love/hate relationship with the gym.  I supplemented that with regular jog/walks around the lake and the net result was this:  The dog lost 8 pounds.  I'm not joking.

Going to the gym in the morning always presents me with this dilemma; what to eat.  If I don't eat anything, I get light-headed.  If I eat the wrong thing, I feel like I'm going to throw up.  Finally, Travis the Trainer suggested these protein balls.  They not only taste good, but they seem to get me through his workouts!


These Peanut Butter Protein Balls have just a few simple ingredients and will easily last you a week in the fridge.  I found this dairy-free protein powder at Costco which is super chocolatey and very delicious.  Yep.  Just one more reason to love Costco.



Just combine all the ingredients in a bowl, or, better yet, use a food processor if you have one, which I don't.  Believe it or not. Don't forget the chocolate chips, because I wouldn't ask you to put anything in your mouth that wasn't delicious.



Three of these in the morning and I am out the door!
