How to make no bake high protein energy balls
Grind flaxseed in a coffee grinder or mix flaxseed meal and all other ingredients in a large bowl, start by using a spoon or spatula. You will end up having to use your hands to mix it well.

Once mixed roll into 1 inch balls and place them on a parchment lined rimmed cookie sheet. Place the balls in the freezer for one hour before serving.

Storing energy balls
After freezing for one hour, you can remove the energy balls from the freezer and store them in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 3 weeks. If you don’t think you will use them in 3 weeks, then place them in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer. If the balls are too hard to eat when removed from the freezer allow them to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
