Recipes for protein balls?

I would like the recipes for the peanut butter protein balls, and how far are you usually out of surgery before you can eat them.. I will need this in the future..  thanks cindy

I got both of these when I was preop from other people....as for when you can eat them....sometimes in the soft foods stage....but it really depends on what your surgeon/nutritionist guidelines are for pb and the other things.  Enjoy!  Oh, on a side note, I have tons of recipes that I've gotten from the recipe forum and the baking forum (check them out!)...so if you're ever looking for a recipe just ask, I may have it.... 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. OR

1 CUP of Peanut Butter (smooth or junky)..your preference 1 CUP of vanilla protein powder (again...your choice!!) 1 CUP of Rice Crispy Cereal (or granola...again, your choice!!) Splenda to suit your taste 1./3 cup of water (set aside in a bowl) 3 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder (i really love the70% cacao powder..no sugar too!) 1.  MIX peanut butter, protein powder together. 2.  FOLD in the rice crispy cereal 3.  MIX peanut butter, protein and cereal until ingredients are well mixed. 4.  ADD Splenda to suit your taste (optional...but it adds a bit of that "sweet" flavor that we crave!) 5.  DIP finger tips in water and coat the palm of your hand 6.  FORM 1" balls with the protein ball mixture 7.  ROLL the 1" balls in  cocoa powder so that they resemble a truffle 8.  REFRIGERATE and enjoy cold (they keep for about a week...IF everyone doesn't eat them before you do! LOL) ENJOY!!!! Not a Peanut Butter FAN?!?!? OKAY!  Instead of PB, use Cream Cheese!!!! Instead of Cocao Powder, use chopped almonds or macadamia nuts!  Add some vanilla extract for a yummy taste!!! Want more of a cheesecake consistency?!?!??! ADD one EGG, 1 tablespoon of flour with pure vanilla extract... Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes.. COOL and ENJOY!!! Want a little bit of fruit with it?!?!?!  ADD 1/4 tablespoon of 100% Real Fruit jam (I love the blackberry 100% preserves...What a heavenly treat...curbs the sweet craving AND is good for you!!  Each 1" protein ball has about 10 grams of protein (give or take a gram if you use more or less of the PB or Cream Cheese)... and if you use 100% complex carbohydrate cereal such as Rice Crispies or Granola, it can bump up the protein AND fiber!!!
