Recipe Video with Workout Hotel

A few weeks ago I met up with Karen Vizueta of Workout Hotel to film some healthy recipe videos at the YouTube studios in NYC. Karen is a fantastic workout instructor who teaches some of my favorite workout classes, and has an awesome YouTube channel with videos that are perfect for squeezing in at at home workout. We collaborated on a few recipes that are protein packed, plant based, and make for a great pre or post workout snack. These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Balls are a favorite in our family, and a big hit with Holden. Stay tuned for more recipe videos with Karen, and be sure to check out her workouts!

Ingredients:

•             1 cup old fashion oats

•            2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

•             1 teaspoon vanilla extract

•             1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1.    In a bowl, mix together all the above ingredients until well combined (using your hands works best here).

2.    Roll the dough into balls roughly the size of a ping pong ball, packing them firmly.

3.    Refrigerate for 1 hour to set, and enjoy!
