- 1 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or unsweetened shredded coconut or a mix

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. This will make the process seamless and enjoyable.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, old-fashioned rolled oats, ground flaxseed meal, chia seeds, and mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add your choice of nut butter to the dry mixture. Drizzle in the honey or pure maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and form a thick paste.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a moldable consistency.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Place the protein balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
