Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats or quick oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tbsp hemp hearts
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (salted) 'drippy' and fresh
1/4 cup honey

Instructions

Pulse dry ingredients: Add oats, chia seeds, flaxseed, hemp seeds and protein powder to a food processor. Pulse 12-15 times or until broken down into very small pieces (but not flour). If you're using quick oats, start with 8 pulses.
Transfer to bowl and mix: Transfer oats mixture from food processor to a medium bowl. Add peanut butter, honey and any additional mix-ins. With a wooden spoon or large spatula, mix ingredients together until well combined.
Test mixture: Squeeze mixture between your hands. It should hold together easily. If the mixture seems too dry, add another tbsp of peanut butter or honey and mix well. If the mixture seems too wet, add another tbsp of ground flaxseed.
Roll bliss balls: Using a medium cookie scoop or large spoon, scoop approximately 2 tbsp of mixture and roll between hands until a ball is formed. Transfer to a plate or small cookie sheet. Repeat until all of the oat mixture is used up.
Refrigerate: You can enjoy the bliss balls immediately. If you plan to store the bliss balls, refrigerate on a plate or small cookie sheet with 1-2 cm between each ball. Once balls are cooled, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Notes

If you don't have a food processor, use quick oats instead of old fashioned oats.
