WHY Peanut Butter Protein Balls?
This power snack is a family favorite. (My husband even requested we make a batch for our next road trip!)
Peanut butter is a great source of protein, is rich in heart-healthy fats, and is a well-balanced energy source.
It is one of those good snacks for athletes as it’s known to be one delicious way to encourage the building and repair of muscles.

These are perfect for the kids to snack on before soccer practice, or as energy snacks for athletes on your teams during one of those long sport matches.
The last thing you need is to have your child munch on mindless calories.
This is good.
What makes these Peanut Butter Protein Balls even better is that they’re no-bake!
Add your choice of peanut butter to a marriage of assorted honey roasted nuts, semi-dark chocolate chips, steel-cut or old-fashioned oats, honey, and shredded coconut,
and you have a sure-fire winner!
My son loves making these as a post-school snack.
Preference-wise the kids enjoy old-fashioned oats over steel-cut any day.
Feel free to also swap RX Nut Butter flavors in your Power Balls and see which one your young athlete likes the best.
You can also use any other peanut butter brand too.
I just really like the RX Nut Butter Honey Cinnamon Flavor.

I wonder how they’d taste baked.
Cashews, almonds AND walnuts? Or just one?
