need protein ball reciepe...please
Hi, Cor:
Here is the protein ball recipe I use. I know Jan makes ones using oatmeal instead of the rice crispies. There are also other protein balls listed which I haven't tried yet...the ones with cream cheese. I'll bet they are good though!

Here is my basic protein ball recipe: (KathieInHawaii)
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!!!
When I make these (I still do at 5 years post!!), I have to tell my kids to STAY AWAY FROM EM! LOL
Hope this helps!! Just eating 4 a day can easily at 40 grams of protein!! Add this with some lean turkey or tuna and you will easily surpass your daily requirement!!

Hi Cor,
I am almost 6 mo post op and had a really hard time with protein powders. The only one I could stomach was the GNC unflavored protein. It is getting a little better now but what I do is take about an ounce of ho****er and add 1 scoop of protein powder (you could use choc or vanilla or the unflavored) and I get the best choice hot chocolate mix and add a packet of that. Then I microwave about 5 ounces of water and add to the mix. It is the best hot chocolate and I really don't even taste the protein powder. I drink one in the morning and one before bed and that gives me 48 grms of protein plus add to your fluid intake. Then I get the rest of my protein from what I eat during the day. Hope this helps a little.
I also make the protein balls and they are really good. My granddaughter takes them to school for her healthy snack. Her teacher can't believe anything that taste that good can be healthy.lol...
