Forgot - protein balls
I have forgotten how to make protein balls with the chocolate protein and the peanut butter and want to make some for our group meeting on Wednesday. Can someomne tell me what quantities of everything I need to make them? Is it 1 cup chocolate protein, one cup peanut butter, one cup water?
Thanks
Jackie
PROTEIN BALLS
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff
1 cup protein powder
5 packets Sugar substitute
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 Sugar substitute 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.
*I use more splenda, usually about 10 packets. I like em' sweet!
*I have added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to these and that was good too!
Hope this is the one you were looking for.
Enjoy!

These are the ones I use. I had a jar of that No Sugar Added Peter Pan with the 2111 so I've been stearing clear of Peanut Butter this week. I miss it.

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar free honey
1 cup unflavored protein powder

1 cup peanut butter
2 scoops of chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup low carb special K cereal

I mixed everything up in a bowl and then rolled them in oatmeal.
PROTEIN BALLS V
1 cup protein powder
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup or honey
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..

1 cup peanut butter
Sugar substitute to taste

Each ball has about 10 grams of protein.
Wow! To think that something good might eventually be done with all this protein powder...! I'm 4 days post-op from Lap-Band & having shake overload.
My alternative attempts today were all disappointments. I want to stick to the protein powder liquid foods because I know that's where the healthy choice is right now, but it's inspiring to think that down the road there might be something else to do with this stuff! I've saved all those Protein Ball recipes for later use.
Thanks for the tip!
