Part of any successful weight loss plan is healthy snacking. This recipe from Dr. Oz is packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants and is the perfect pick-me-up before a workout.
½ cup 100% natural peanut butter made with ONLY peanuts
1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
1½ cups crispy oats or flax meal (for omega-3s)
½ cup raisins or ¼ cup dark chocolate chips. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants that can help maintain cardiovascular health.
Roll up into bite-sized balls and refrigerate for at least an hour before eating. Important to remember that you should be eating no more than 1 or 2 energy balls per day (and only before your workout.)
