Protein ball recipe and questions ...

Hi everyone! I saw that some of you are making protein balls ... can you share your recipe please??? I need some new snack ideas! Some questions about them ... do you taste that weird aftertaste of the protein powder in them? I've always had a huge aversion to the protein drinks! Also, do you need to refrigerate them??? Do you know the nutritional stats on them? Thanks a bunch! Deanna

I got a ton of different protein recipes... lol... Protein balls 1 cup of protein powder.. i use isopure pure chocolate.. yummy 1 cup of oatmeal.. the regular kind not instant. 1 cup of peanut butter 5 packs of splenda Put pb in the microwave for about 45 seconds to soften it up... Mix everything together.. you may need to add a couple squirts of water to make it moist enough to mold. Makes 24 balls about the size of a walnut. Refridgerate when done.. but they dont have to remain in the refrig .. i take them with me when I go places in my bag.. you just dont want to leave them out for a week i guess. Serving info 1 protien ball 110 calories.. may vary if you use a different proteit 11 grams of protein I usually eat two of them for a snack. The ppl over on the graduate board think that protein levels should be at least 100 or higher if you exercise.. I try and keep mine at 120 and above.. I feel much better and I am loosing weight again even though I am not exercising and eating more.. so I think it works. As far as taste.. they taste like a dry recesses cup... not to bad at all.. they are kind of dry though.. you mouth will make them get moister.. so it works... give it a try.. u might like it.. Its also a way to get those extra calories that are hard to get in each day and they are good cals cause they are full of protein.

I saw one that is the same as Carla's but they add some sf maple syrup. I'm guessing this combats the dryness?? I can't get sf syrup so I'll stick with Carla's recipe ( thanks Carla)

want me to send you some, i've got enough s.f. maple syrup to float down a river? For some odd reason, they were on sale and my mom bought me like 6-8 of them thinking that'll be great but pancakes make me ill so really what do i use them for now? I have used some on a pork loin wtih mustard for a sauce but really that's about it. ANDI
