I was looking at recipes for protein balls and I couldn’t find one that matched my cravings. I decided to mix up a few recipes to combine peanut butter, cashews, and blueberry. The result was so delicious I actually wrote it down so I can make it again.

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

1 scoop (2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

2 tablespoons flax seeds

1/4 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 mashed banana

1/4 cup dried blueberries

Directions:

  1. Pulse cashews in a food processor until they are finely chopped.
  2. Add a banana in small chunks. Pulse.
  3. Add remaining ingredients to mix. Pulse lightly.
  4. Use an ice cream scooper to portion out 1 tablespoon size balls. (If dough is too sticky stick in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes).
  5. Place balls in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator.
