Hey, Tina:
I am a big fan of the Greek yogurts. I have tried many of the ones that are out there, but the one that I like the most is Chobani, which you can get at Giant. I use the plain and flavor it myself...much less sugar.
As far as the flaxseed -- again you can get it in a lot of grocery stores around the health food section. I get the organic ground flaxseed -- it has a nice slightly nutty flavor, and it is a good source of Omega 3s.
Protein balls: They are a nice little snack that have protein (obviously) in them. There are a lot of recipes out there, but the one I use is:
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. oatmeal
1 c. chocolate protein powder (I use Unjury)
12 packs of Splenda
I put the peanut butter in a bowl and microwave it for about 45-50 seconds. I then mix in the other ingredients until mixed. Form into 1" balls (I use a cookie dough scoop), and then I refrigerate them.
I can usually get about 18-20 protein balls out of a recipe. Based on Unjury, Quaker Oats and Jif peanut butter (and Splenda), here is what I figured out for the nutritional information:
Serving size: 1 protein ball
Calories: 106
Fat: 7 grams
Carbs: 6 grams
Protein: 7 grams
Hope that helps! :)
