No-Bake Oatmeal Protein Energy Balls

This is from thehealthymaven.com.  Jamie and her children made something similar to these when they were staying with us in Colorado.  It's a nice alternative to "junk" food.

1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. protein powder
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 T chia seeds
1/2 c. smooth peanut butter
3 T honey
1 t. vanilla
1/3 c. chocolate chips (and/or craisins, raisins, nuts)
2-4 T liquid (almond milk, milk water..)

1.  Add oats, protein powder, cinnamon and chia in a large bowl.
2.  Add PB, honey, and vanilla.  Stir to combine.
3. Add in chips (or whatever add-in).  Mixture should be sticky but still crumbly.
4. Slowly add in liquid 1 T at a time.  Use your hands.  Combine until ingredients hold together.  If           it's too dry, add a little more liquid.
5. Roll into balls.  Use your hands.
6. Place in a container and refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
7. Store in refrigerator.
