Protein Balls

Here are some recipes I got off of one of the other OH sites for protein balls sounds interesting. Thought I would experiment on you which have had wls .......let you try them and see if (MIKEY likes them) you like them and if your pouch likes them. I printed them for future referance.  So if you try them and like them let me know. PROTEIN BALLS 1 cup of protein powder (chocolate is good for this)

1 cup of non-fat dry milk

1 cup of Peanut Butter(smooth or chunky)

1 cup of crispy cereal(unsweetened.. the 100% whole grain kind)

cocoa powder

2 Tablespoons of water

Splenda to taste

Mix in the protein powder, non-fat dry milk together. Fold in the Peanut butter. MIX WELL. When its totally mixed add a slight bit of water to the ball(s) if they get sticky

Mix the Splenda and cocoa (unsweetened) together. Roll each ball in the cocoa Mixture

Refrigerate about an hour or so.  Each ball has approximately 8-10 grams of protein these are easily transported and you can eat them on the go.

Personally I make them with 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  Directions: 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. Next My recipe uses oatmeal.

1 cup peanut butter (about 1/2 of a 15 oz jar) 1 cup rolled oats (not instant) 1 cup protein powder -- I use matrix chocolate 5 packets splenda

Warm peanut butter in microwave for 30-40 seconds.  This is to get it liquidy so it mixes better with the other ingredients.

Add oats, protein powder, splenda and mix by hand.   If you have trouble stirring it, add a little water -- a tablespoon or so at a time.

Roll into walnut sized balls and refridgerate.  Store in zip-loc baggies in the fridge Ok my little lab rats try and report! TEEE HEEE Myrtis
