Peanut Butter/Protein Balls

Does anyone have a recipe for these?  I have heard of them before but never trie them and would like to.  I do not know if they are two separate recipes or one and the same with different names.    Thanks! Merry Christmas!  Hugs, Robin

I've never tried any of these, but I saved them from a post I read on another board a few months ago:

Protein Balls

1 cup of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)

1 cup of non-fat dry milk

1 cup of rice crispy cereal

1 cup of peanut butter

Splenda to taste

Cocoa powder mixed with Splenda

 

Add the Protein Powder, Dry Milk, Cereal and Peanut Butter in a mixing

bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix and

not really visible. If you like it really sweet, add some more Splenda to

fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in

diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Splenda mix. Refrigerate.

 

Each ball has about 10 grams of protein.

 

Protein Balls

1 1/2 cups lowfat powdered milk

1 1/2 cups oatmeal

1 cup creamy peanut butter

5 scoops Elite Rich Chocolate protein powder

8 packets of Splenda

1 cup cold water

1 1/2 cups powdered milk

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder

1 large egg

1 1/4 cups orange juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup dried fruit, chopped

 

10 servings

 

25 minutes 10 mins prep

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line 7 X 11 inch baking pan with waxed paper.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Spread onto pan, press cutting lines into make 10 pieces. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Cut apart, then cool and wrap.

Store airtight at room temperature for up to two weeks.

 

Power Butter Balls

1 cup Power Butter or peanut butter

1 egg

1 cup Splenda

Mix together and form balls or press to form cookies.

Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes.

 

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

1/2 cup skim milk

1 cup natural-style peanut butter or low-fat peanut butter

1 tablespoon honey

1 1/4-1 1/2 cups of whey protein powder (I use vanilla, but I'm sure chocolate would work too)

2 cups dry uncooked oatmeal (not quick cooking kind)

 

1. Combine PB, honey and milk in a pot.

2. Warm over low heat.

3. Add the protein powder and mix well.

4. Add the oats.

5. You don't want to cook it, just warm it through so you can stir it.

6. Add more milk if it is too thick to stir.

7. Press in a 9" x 13" pan.

8. Let the bars sit until cool, and cut into 16 equal sized bars.

9. Wrap each bar in foil or Saran wrap and store in plastic baggies.

10. They do not need refrigeration.

Protein Balls

1 c peanut butter (I used Simply Jif)

2 scoops of Unjury chocolate

1/2 c low carb special K

3 tbsp of sugar free maple syrup

1/4 c chopped nuts I used pecans, walnuts, almonds

oatmeal

3 packets of Splenda

 

I mixed everything up in a bowl and then rolled them in oatmeal.

They were yummy!

 

Protein Balls

1 cup protein powder (I use whatever protein powder I have at the time)

1 cup uncooked oatmeal (not the quick oats, just regular oatmeal)

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup or honey (I use less the 1/2c of honey.

 

Mix together well and roll into balls - about the size of a ping pong ball. Store in a Tupperware or Ziploc bag in the refrigerator. They have about 10 grams of protein each.

 

Protein balls

1 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)

1 cup non-fat dry milk

1 cup rice crispy cereal

1 cup peanut butter

Splenda to taste

cocoa powder mixed with Splenda

 

Add the protein powder, dry milk, cereal and peanut butter in a mixing

bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix

and not visible. If you like it real sweet, add some more Splenda to

fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls ( about 1.5 inches

in diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Splenda mix. Refrigerate.

Each ball has about 10 grams of protein.

 

Peanut Butter Balls

1 c- sugar free peanut butter

1c- rice krispies

1c-protein powder (I was told choc. or vanilla, but my Cappuccino that I already had worked fine.)

Splenda to taste

 

roll into balls and then into cocoa/Splenda mixed (if desired) and refrigerate in baggies. They say they are 10 g protein per 1 1/2 in. ball!

 

Protein Poppers

1 C. protein powder

1 C. non-fat dry milk

1 C. peanut butter

Cocoa powder

2 tbsp water

½ C. ground flax seed

½ C. rolled oats

Splenda to taste

1 tsp. rum extract

 

Mix protein powder, milk powder, rum extract and peanut butter. When totally mixed, add flax and oats. Pu****er in bowl on side; make one inch balls, dipping fingers into water if too sticky.

 

In separate bowl, mix Splenda and cocoa. Roll each ball in cocoa mixture. Chill one hour before eating.

 

Approx.10 grams of protein per ball.

 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

couple of ounces of cream cheese (fat free)

couple of large tablespoons of peanut butter

couple of large tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa

1/4 to 1/3 cup Splenda

 

Then I just mash and stir until all the dry has been incorporated into the wet. At this point I roll it into balls about as big around as an olive and chill (or eat right away, if you can't wait!). You shouldn't go wild with these, but a couple of them will curb the chocolate craving for me. Enjoy!

 

Peanut Butter Balls

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup Splenda

blend this together...

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg and 1 serving of protein powder

mix all this. Roll into 6 balls and place on a cookie sheet-spray your hands with Pam so the cookie dough won't stick to your hands. Dip your fork in Splenda and do a crisscross on top of the cookie. Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes. Let cool. *If you eat them while they are still warm, they will crumble in your hands. I guess they just need time to set?

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar free honey

1 cup unflavored protein powder

1/2 cup grape nut cereal

Wow!  What a great list to choose from.  Thank you so much.  I will pick out a couple of them to try and let you know how they taste.  I hope I can find one or two that are good so that I have another choice of protein.   Thanks again. Robin

Yes, please, let us know.   It never hurts to have extra protein snacks around.  I'm thinking that the week between Xmas and New Years when I'm off work, I'll try a few as well.

There was another one that was really easy, I think Gail has it.  I would like to get that one as well. Hugs Kristen

Hi Robin, I've also read where, instead of rolling the "dough" into balls that you leave it in a glass dish and let it harden into (for lack of better terms) brownies.  If you add up all the nutrition info from the ingredients and divide by the number of squares you cut, you'll have the amount of protein (and other stuff) per piece. I haven't actually tried this but it seems much easier than rolling the dough into balls.  I have made the protein balls a number of times and it isn't much fun for me.  But they are good!! I can't wait to try some of the other recipes posted above. --Eric
