1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup crushed milk chocolate eggs (e.g., Cadbury style)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the quick oats, protein powder, and salt.

- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (makes approximately 24).
- Place on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
