No Bake Vanilla Peanut Butter Cinnamon Protein Balls


In a bowl, combine:
1 1/2 C quick oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 C rice crispies cereal

In a microwave safe bowl, warm, and mix:
1/2 C + 1 Tbl. Peanut butter
1/8 C coconut oil
1/8 C +1 Tbl. Honey
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the oat mixture, and blend well.

Lastly, mix in:
1/4 C cinnamon chips

Shape into balls (I use a 1 1/2 inch cookie dough baller), and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.  Place in the freezer until frozen.  Then you can put them in baggies in the freezer, and take them out as needed.
I usually just take one out before I head out for my run, and it's ready for me when I get back.
Makes 18 balls.
