Evening all...

I have made lots of these in the past, but it's been a while and I am getting old.  I tried to make them yesterday and really messed them up.

Sooooo....will you all please post your recipe?  Pretty please?  I usually take a recipe and change it until I like it but I need to see what you do so I can see what I did wrong.

Thanks.

New Protein Ball Recipe
 
1 CUP of Peanut Butter (smooth or chunky)..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?!?!?!

Thanks Angie....I KNEW I had seen several of these and couldn't find my own.  And the cream cheese variation sounds yummy!

I used PB2 and that is where I made my mistake.  It just wouldn't set up and was so bitter...yuck!

I have a celebration brunch I have to go to and what I take has to be able to be eaten without silverware.  The protein balls look good- do you have any other good recipes?
