Ingredients
Base Mixture:
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup nut or seed butter (almond, peanut, or sunflower)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
½ cup vanilla protein powder (kid-safe)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Natural Color Powders:
1 teaspoon blue spirulina
1 teaspoon beetroot powder

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix oats, protein powder, nut butter, sweetener, coconut oil, and vanilla until a thick dough forms.
Divide the dough into three equal parts. Mix spirulina into one, beetroot into another, and turmeric into the third.
Roll small bits of each color together to form a “galaxy swirl” pattern and shape into 1-inch balls.
Optional: Use small silicone molds (stars, moons, etc.) for added fun.
Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
