Ingredients

Most of these ingredients you may already have on hand! But if you don’t like something or don’t have it on hand, feel free to replace with an alternative.

  • Oats: I used old fashioned oats, but any kind of oats would work just fine. You can also experiment with another dry ingredient, such as almond flour or ground nuts, for a lower carb alternative.
  • Nut Butter: I used peanut butter, but any nut butter would work just fine!
  • Honey: I used honey as a sweetener, but this can be replaced with maple syrup, date syrup, or any liquid sweetener of choice.
  • Collagen Peptides: I used Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, but feel free to use your favorite collagen or protein powder of choice.
  • Dried Fruit: I used dried cherries since that is what I hand on hand, but any dried fruit would work great! My other favorites are dried cranberries, blueberries, or raisins.
  • Chia Seeds: Any seed or nut would work great! If I don’t have chia seeds on hand sometimes I will use flax seed.
  • Mini Chocolate Chips: This is a great add-in if you’re wanting a sweet treat in the house! It’s the perfect amount to give you the taste of chocolate without over indulging. If you don’t like chocolate, you can simply omit this ingredient.

STEP ONE: Add all ingredients to a large bowl.

STEP TWO: Mix well.

STEP THREE: Roll into small bite-size balls. That’s it!

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU TRY IT!
