Chad’s Power Balls

Gluten-free | Low sugar spike | Includes creatine

These power balls are simple to make, store in the freezer, and hit the mark on taste. I eat them straight from the fridge. No baking, no filler.

Ingredients (makes ~15 balls)

Dry Ingredients

Almond flour gives you healthy fats and a soft texture, while flaxseed meal adds fiber, helps it bind, and keeps blood sugar stable.

• 1½ cups blanched almond flour
• ¾ cup flaxseed meal
• ½ cup cocoa nibs
• 5 tablespoons creatine monohydrate (~75g)

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter (unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup honey (slightly more if you want sweeter)
• Optional:
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp water (if needed for texture)

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients
   In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, cocoa nibs, and creatine.
2. Add wet ingredients
   Add peanut butter, honey, and optional vanilla. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Adjust texture
   Too dry? Add water 1 tsp at a time.
   Too wet? Add a bit more flaxseed meal.
4. Form balls
   Roll into 1-inch balls (about ping-pong size). Yields ~15 balls.
5. Freeze
   Store in an airtight container or ziplock in freezer for up to 12 months. They thaw quickly and can be consumed within a few minutes of coming out of the fridge.
