Scott starts every single morning with a protein smoothie and whatever little, breakfast muffin, bar or ball I've made for him for the week. His very favorite is an easy no-bake breakfast ball. I found the original recipehere and have tweaked it just a little to decrease the sugar content and up the flavor just a bit. Our recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
- 1 C dry oatmeal
- 1/3 C mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 C honey (this sweetener works the best to bind the ingredients)
- 1/2 C unsweetened coconut (toasted, when I have time)
- 1/2 C flax seed (freshly ground)
- 1/2 C peanut butter
- 1 T chia seeds
- 1 1/2 t vanilla
- 1 t cinnamon
Stir all the ingredients together in a big bowl and then refrigerate for about half an hour. Once chilled for a bit, they are easier to roll. I scoop them out with a 1/2 tablespoon and the help of a baby spoon. The soft tip of the baby spoon helps to easily pop the breakfast ball out of the tablespoon. Using this method, it makes about 25+ balls. But of course, you could totally roll them or scoop them any way you like. Store them in an airtight container, refrigerate them, and eat them within a week (easy!).
