Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, ground flaxseed, and salt.
Add peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into your hands and roll into bite-sized balls.

You can customize these protein balls by adding other mix-ins such as chia seeds, dried fruit, or nuts.
If the mixture is too dry to roll, add a little more peanut butter or honey. If it’s too sticky, add more oats or flaxseed.
