- Ground Flax seed (optional, I did not use in this recipe. If you do, you can use up to 1/4 cup)

Large Protein Balls Flavor Variations
One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. I try to keep the mix-ins to around 1 cup combined.

Tips for Perfect Protein Balls
- If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly wet your hands or spray with non-stick spray before rolling.
- If the mixture feels too sticky, add a few tablespoons of oats.
- If it’s too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey.
