These chocolate brownie protein energy balls with white chocolate chips are an easy make-ahead snack. Oats, flaxseed, and brewer’s yeast are included in this version, with a little peanut butter available if the mixture needs help holding together.
A QUICK NOTE
Protein powders absorb liquid differently. Blend the mixture first, then add the optional peanut butter only if it is too dry to roll into balls. Chill the finished bites in the refrigerator.
