Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Max AC Channel. For this month’s theme, with school starting up once again, I thought it would be fun to make some recipes that would be great to snack on while you’re studying for your first test. So for this month, we will be doing our third round of September Snacks, where we will be taking a look at another 5 easy-to-make and delicious snacks to enjoy as the summer comes to an end. For this episode, we will be making some Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls.

In the comments below, let me know how it went if you decide to make it and let me know if there’s anything you want to make next. Like the video, share it with your friends and family, and subscribe to this channel f.or more episodes of the MAX AC Channel.

PUMPKIN SPICE PROTEIN BALLS (12-16 balls)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored is best, but you can also use peanut butter or chocolate flavor if you wish)
- 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter (or you can substitute with more protein powder)
- 1-2 tsp pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, mace, and/or cloves)
- 1/2 cup water/milk
- 1-2 tbsp honey/maple syrup
- 1 cup instant/rolled oats
- Some chocolate chips and/or nuts for decoration (optional)

Instructions:
1. First, in a large mixing bowl, add in your protein powder, powdered peanut butter, pumpkin pie spices, water/milk, honey, and oats, and give this a stir with a rubber spatula until it forms into an even, sticky dough. If you need to, you can add in some more protein powder if it's too wet or some more water if it's too dry.
2. Then, when your dough is ready, use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out a bit at a time and roll it between your hands to form it into a ball. If you need to, you can wet your hands in between to keep the dough from sticking to them.
3. Once your dough is shaped into balls, place them on a baking sheet and place it in the fridge for 1 hour, or until the balls are hardened.
4. Once they’ve hardened, if you want to make them pumpkin-shaped, you can use some kitchen twine to give the balls some ridges and then you can add a chocolate chip or nut on top to act as a stem. Then, transfer to a ziploc bag or airtight container and you can store it in the fridge for around a week and with that, your Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls are ready to eat.
