Notes
What kind of protein powder should I use? Just use your favorite protein powder! I used vanilla protein powder in this recipe, but I love chocolate in it too. My personal favorite way to mix things up is to use half vanilla and half chocolate protein powder.
How many energy balls does this make? This makes 22 – 24 good sized energy bites. Each one has 6g of protein!
Are rolled oats the same thing as old fashioned oats? Yes they are! This is the kind of oats that you want for this recipe.
