Hi Melissa 
Here is a recipe I got from Dame Tooter on the main board. I have not tried it yet.

NO-BAKE PROTEIN BALLS & FINGERS
1½ cups nonfat powdered milk
8 to 9 scoops protein powder
8 to 10 packs of Splenda (or to taste)
1 ¾ cups Rice Krispies or 1 1/4 cup regular cooking oatmeal
1¼ cups peanut butter (S/F peanut butter is even better)
1 to 1½ cups cold water (can use A crystal light flavor here to compliment your protein flavor if desired)
½-cup GROUND flax seeds
OPTIONAL: ½ to 1 tsp of vanilla or almond extract.
Mix all dry ingredients. Stir in Peanut Butter. Add the extract if using to the water and slowly mix together until mixture resembles a thick paste. Put wax paper on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Scoop mixture onto the cookie sheet in little balls. Sprinkle w/ more cocoa powder and put in fridge for 6 hours. Keep in fridge. This mix also freezes well. Just put in heavy-duty Ziploc freezer bags.
I personally make most of the balls a little bigger than the size of a Hershey's Kiss. I think I miss Hershey's Kisses the most of all the foods I can't eat anymore cause of the surgery... so this placates me a little bit. The rest of the batch, I make into the shape of a Vienna finger, or a rectangle 1" x 3", or balls the size of (cough), well, err... laugh... the real ones. J Afterthought... imagine if you rolled them in shredded coconut! Oh, never mind. LOL.
Variations...
IRISH POTATOES:
If you use vanilla protein, instead of using coco powder, use cinnamon instead! Use coconut extract for a reminder of what Irish Potatoes used to taste like!
COCO MOCHA!
If you use either vanilla or choc protein, instead of coco powder, take instant coffee and mix it into a 1 to 3 ratio with Splenda. Make sure to whirl the coffee and Splenda in a food processor or mixer for a few seconds to make it nice and powdery. Adjust the taste up or down for sweetness as you like.
It's hard to give an exact nutritional breakdown on these, but here's an 'effort'
If you use oatmeal the subtotal of calories for the WHOLE recipe is 'about' 3878 w/ 334 carbs...plus you have to add in whatever the calories are from whatever protein powder you use (and of course whatever variables you add, like crystal light or cocoa).
If you use Rice Krispies instead of oatmeal the calorie load for the WHOLE recipe is 'about' 3708 with 294 carbs...again you have to add in whatever the calories/carbs are from whatever protein powder you use (and of course whatever variables you add, like crystal light or cocoa).
