Peanut Butter Super Power Ball Snacks
Since we have been focusing on the the theme, REVIVED, I wanted to post a recipe I made for a girls weekend. This snack is easy to make, super delicious and extremely nutritious. These healthy treats store in the refrigerator or freezer for many days, even weeks. They are easy to take in a ziplock bag in your purse, or transport in a tupperware to an event.
This new recipe was based off of Bekah’s original Power Ball recipe with a few things added that will help you feel physically REVIVED!
You can find Bekah’s original recipe at the bottom of this post or click the link above.
We will call this newer version, Peanut Butter Super Power Ball Snacks.
Ingredients
1 cup natural peanut butter (I used creamy but you can use chunky)
2 ½ cups old fashioned oats
¼ cup flax seed meal
⅛ cup chia seeds
⅛ cup hemp seeds
⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
½ cup unsweetened coconut
½ cup raisins
½ cup mini chocolate chips
½ cup honey
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until wet ingredients are evenly distributed within the dry ingredients. With your hands, form 1-2 inch balls rolling until solid and firm. Place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet with sides. Place cookie sheet into refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until chilled and then transfer to tupperware. Makes 30-40 power balls.

Just a reminder, as Bekah mentioned in her original recipe, there are so many variations of this recipe…you can experiment as you wish adding any of the following ingredients…
vanilla protein powder in place of the chocolate
any other kinds of dried fruit-cranberries, blueberries, chopped dried mango or pineapple etc
you can even use other nut butters like almond, sunflower seed or walnut butter.
Here is Bekah’s original recipe posted last year on March 26th, 2014.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups Dry, Old Fashioned Oats
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Ground Flaxseed
1/3 Cup Honey
2 Tsp Vanilla
3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips (Optional, but a good option :D)
1/4 Cup – 1/2 Cup Raisins (Optional)
Saran Wrap
The fun thing about this recipe is the possibilities are endless. You can add other dried fruit, coconut flakes, nuts or other types of chocolate 🙂
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and stir well (you can also use a stand mixer on low with a paddle attachment to mix the ingredients). Because there are so many options for this snack, you can also separate the recipe into two halves to make two different flavors. Once everything is thoroughly mixed, cover the bowl with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. Once it is completely chilled, roll into balls and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- 2 Cups Dry, Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 Cup Peanut Butter (I used Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Peanut Butter from unblanched peanuts in one batch and Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter in the other for a sweeter version for my husband)
- 1 Cup Ground Flaxseed
- ⅓ Cup Honey
- 2 Tsp Vanilla
- ¾ Cup Chocolate Chips (Optional, but a good option :D)
- ¼ Cup - ½ Cup Raisins (Optional)
