    These PB & J Protein Balls are going to be your new favorite bite-sized snack! They're made with all healthy ingredients and packed with protein for a filling snack on-the-go.How is everyone's week going? I have to say, mine is going pretty good. Considering I'm in the middle of my Ireland adventure with Zach (my fiance) and a few of our dear friends.

    We're having an absolute blast here and have had so much fun exploring a new country together. I shared the details of our trip on my dark chocolate cherry crisp recipe so check that out for details!

    And if you want to follow along you can keep up with my Instagram stories too.

They're made with all healthy ingredients and packed with protein for a filling snack on-the-go.And of course I'll be doing  a recap of all the amazing places we've visited and all of the delicious food we've been eating.

    Speaking of food. I had every intention of bringing these PB & J protein balls with us overseas so we could have snacks as we were exploring and hiking. I made 19 of them around 5:30 and all of them were gone by the next morning.

    It's safe to say they're delicious.

    These PB & J Protein Balls are going to be your new favorite bite-sized snack! They're made with all healthy ingredients and packed with protein for a filling snack on-the-go.I also love them because they're an easy and convenient way to get some extra protein in my diet. I love protein filled snacks because they keep me full longer and I'm always trying to find new ways to add protein to my diet.

    Plus I'm addicted to PB & J. It reminds me of being a kid and there's something so cool about that every time I pop these protein balls as a snack.

    • The peanut butter! It's got a nice amount of protein and holds these protein balls together.
    • Flaxseed has a small amount of protein as well and adds a nice texture to this recipe.
    • Protein powder, of course. You can use your favorite kind of vanilla protein or powdered peanut butter. You can use a peanut butter protein powder for extra peanut taste or I used Vital Proteins Collagen Protein because it’s great for your skin and hair too. Double bonus.

    These PB & J Protein Balls are going to be your new favorite bite-sized snack! They're made with all healthy ingredients and packed with protein for a filling snack on-the-go.These protein balls are so easy to make! They come together in minutes and (in a normal house) last a couple of days so you'll have snacks on the ready.

    If you're like us you may need to make a double batch!
