Protein Balls

I just made these and tried one it is very good. For the protein I used a sample pack of Cookies and Creme Matrix 5.0. I didn't use a whole cup of protein.

I found this recipe posted on one of the other boards.

Protein Balls Recipe
The pb and oatmeal balls are VERY easy.

1 cup Peanut Butter (I use no-sugar-added Peter Pan)
1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff
1 cup protein powder (I use Matrix Chocolate, but you can use other flavors)
5 packets Splenda

Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Splenda and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix)  Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls.

Holli, thanks for sharing!  This reminds me of an old favorite I used to make my boys when they were growing up, no protein used then and minus the sugar and Hershey's chocolate.  I will have to try these next week- they look like they would be good and still healthy!  Again. thanks for sharing!

 Holli,

These sound gret but it looks like we might be eating snowballs tomorrow!

Thanks so much Holli for the receipe.  I just bought cookies and cream whey protein on my trip to Chicago.  I like it so the balls can't help but work.
