This is a sponsored post for the Bob's Red Mill #granolabobsway advertising campaign.
A few weeks back, Bob's Red Mill contacted me to ask me if I would be interested in participating in their August campaign to promote their line of Pan-Baked Granolas.
I absolutely love the brand and I use their products in most of my recipes so they didn't have to push very hard to convince me!
They've sent me 1 bag for every flavor: Lemon Blueberry, Coconut Spice, Maple Sea Salt, and Cranberry Almond. To be honest, I'm usually not a huge fan of granola, I do eat some from time to time, but it usually isn't part of my everyday routine.
But I'll just say this: They have instantly turned me into a regular buyer. This stuff is so, so good. All of the flavors are extremely tasty, and very healthy as well! Gluten-free and only 7 grams of added sugar per serving. Simply amazing.

How to make Almond Butter Protein Balls
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Break the granola clusters. The way I did it is that I opened the bag, removed the air, closed it, then gently rolled it with a rolling pin. Simple.

3. Pour the whole bag of granola (any of their flavor, here I used Cranberry Almond) into a large mixing bowl, add almond butter, coconut flour, vanilla whey protein powder, and almond milk. Stir until well combined:

4. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls using your hands and place them on your baking sheet:

5. Place them in the fridge for 2 hours, then place them into a sealed container for up to 7 days. Done!
