What ingredients do I need to make these No Bake White Chocolate Peppermint Protein Balls?

• Rolled oats -gluten free, if desired.
• Reduced fat peanut butter or almond butter– I like to use Better n’ Peanut Butter, You can find it on Amazon HERE. This peanut butter has only 100 calories and 2.5 grams of fat per serving!
• Honey or honey substitute – used for a natural sweetener and binding agent. I like to use Keto Honey or Caramel syrup from ChocZero. A sugar-free honey that is a great replacement for sweeteners in keto or WW baking. Sweeten your treats, drizzle on keto bread, and replace honey in your recipes with this 1:1 alternative to real honey that’s full of prebiotic fiber and lower in calories! Find it HERE.
