Good Morning All. and Holiday Talk....

  Okie Dokie gals and guys, its  "FRIDAY" Praise the day we have the weekend again. It's been a very long week for me w/ PT nad having to see the plastic surgeon yesterday for a  issue and then I get  streroid shots I was prepared for ouch  but I know they will be worth it in the end. She says things are looking good. So lets  get on w/ the weekend. Hope all has a great one and safe. I also seen a recipe exchange for the holidays for the newbies, I think this is a awesome  thing I know it was tough when I was first out and  getting through the holidays, since my surgery was on Halloween I had to go threw all  the holidays and it  was rough. So if you have  those sugarfree recipes and or whatever please post them here so they have a variety to try.  I have a beandip I forgot who gave it to me  Ill be right back with the recipe. (Iremember now my aunt)  Very good. There are also  some different  protein balls recipes I have gotten from different ones  enjoy....

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.

PROTEIN BALLS II
1 cup of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1 cup of non-fat dry milk
1 cup of rice crispy cereal
1 cup of peanut butter
Sugar substitute to taste
Cocoa powder mixed with Sugar substitute

Add the Protein Powder, Dry Milk, Cereal and Peanut Butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix and not really visible. If you like it really sweet, add some more Sugar substitute to fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Sugar substitute mix. Refrigerate.

PROTEIN BALLS III
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar free honey
1 cup unflavored protein powder
1/2 cup grape nut cereal
sprinkle of cinnamon
sprinkle of Sugar substitute

Mix peanut butter, honey and protein powder together till well blended. Form into balls. In another bowl mix grape nuts, Sugar substitute and cinnamon together. Wet peanut butter balls with water and roll into grape nut mixture. Place in frig and grab when you need a yummy snack!
