These are sooo easy and can be modified however you want if there are allergies!
Ingredients:
- 5 cup QUICK oats (old fashioned requires more sweetener IMO)
- 1 cup any Creamy nut 🥜 butter (just make sure it’s clean and there’s no added sugar or oil)
Yogurt, Shakeology powder, loose granola on top! 1.5R, 2Y, 2 tsp
- ¾ cup sweetener of choice (I combined local Honey🍯 and Pure Maple Syrup)
- ½ cup cocoa
- 2 scoops / packets Shakeology (any flavor and either whey or vegan will do)
** if for a kids’ class, you could switch 1 cup of Oats with 1 cup Rice Krispies for a crunch
**other modifications can be diced cranberries, nuts, coconut or chocolate chips. These will require more sweetener to make it sticky enough to hold, so instead swap out ½ cup Oats for these modifications.
Directions:
1. Mix together with a mixer or you’ll get an arm workout too. It doesn’t matter which order you add ingredients, I mix once all are in the bowl.
2. Roll into balls (24-30), or put in a 13x9 pan and make bars (yields ~20-22 bars depending on thickness).
Serve with plain greek yogurt for breakfast (see above) with 2 - 3 balls (these are sweet enough so you don’t need a sweetened yogurt like Vanilla, and then you forgo the additives that aren’t great for you anyways). You can also put additional Shakeology in your yogurt and stir together before topping with loose granola, or crumble a few balls.
For lunch these can be a healthy carb (2-3 balls), or for snack (kids 4-5 balls, adults 2). These are heavier than my 21-Day Fix Granola Balls so I limit these to heavy fitness days like training, or days I work out for longer than 40 minutes.
Let me know how you like them! I find them very kid friendly!
