1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, optional
3-4 Tbsp honey

5 scoops vanilla protein powder

1 – 3 Tbsp golden flaxseed, ground (or sub with oat flour) – could use brown flax but will be darker in color

a pinch of sea salt

mini chocolate chips

2. Add in protein powder, ground flax, cinnamon (if using) and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Add any additional ingredients if desired (see add-in ideas above) – optional
4. Roll into balls with your hands, and refrigerate or freeze to harden (or eat right from the bowl) and enjoy!
