Chopped nuts add healthy fats and protein.

Heat the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make it easier to roll into balls.

Add the rolled oats to a mixing bowl.

Add the chopped almonds to the mixing bowl.

Add the flax seed meal to the mixing bowl in two parts to ensure it mixes well.

Mix the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly.

Add one or two scoops of protein powder to the mixture and mix again until well combined.

If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of water (about 1/8 cup) to help it stick together and mix easier.

Take portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, choosing your preferred size (from quarter size to ping pong ball size).

Once rolled, place the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help them set.

Optionally, roll the balls in Splenda before serving.
