MY BALLS =)

not sure if i did this right, but i made my first protein balls ever.... i made it with 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) of roasted honey nut creamy skippy 2 tbsp = 190 x 4 = 760/6= 127 (rounded off) calories                 5 x 4= 20/6= 3.33 carbs (2 of the 7 carbs were fiber)                 7 x 4= 28/6= 4.6 protein                   3/4 cup of special k protein cereal 3/4 cup = 100 calories/6= 16.6 calories                   9/6= 1.5 carbs (5 of the 14 carbs were fiber)                   10/6= 1.6 protein isolated soy protein 95 powder (vanilla) 1 scoop = 130 /6= 21.6 calories                     3/6= .5 carbs                     25/6= 4.16 protein my balls (hehe) equal: 165 calories 5.3 carbs 10.36 protein oh i also sweetened them with 3 s&l's does that sound about right? they are pretty big balls... =) smile gina

well it depends.. how do they taste. I'm sure they taste good.. I use a different recipe which give a few less calories than your and 11 protein, but a lot of the amounts depend on the protein u use.. I eat them all the time and just love them. I use chocolate protein powder with peanut butter so its like eating a peanut butter cup.

enjoy

they tast good, but what is your recipe? i would like less calories oh and can't really taste the vanilla it's masked really good by the honey nut flavor in the pb

Hey - no fair TEASING us!!!  We want the recipe!!!! I love peanut butter things! I've never made protein balls with peanut butter though. Sounds like a great snack. Can you throw them in the freezer??  Laurie

i froze mine, and they did prettty good, just don't leave them there too long. i put a few in the fridge and a few in the freezer. i want other recipes tho and that chocolate protein powder and pb does sound like a pb cup... GIVE ME YOUR RECIPE!!! =) thx smile gina

I am scared to make these. They sound like they would be toooooo good and I would want to eat the whole batch at one sitting!!! But, I guess that would be better than eating an entire bag of Peanut  M&M's!!!         Hugs,   Piggy

  Piggy: I made a batch of protein balls with oatmeal instead of special k cereal.  The recipe I found used quick rolled oats (not instant.)    They are very good, but real filling.  I can only eat 1 or 2 at a time.  I could see that a person would have to be careful though,   we could probably consume a bunch over the course of a day.  I made mine with chocolate protein, so as an earlier poster said, they're kind of like Reese's !  They're a quick healthy treat!   DeeAnn

I would not be able to use Special K because of the gluten. But, I could probably get by with oats... Oats are "questionable" as far as gluten goes  because of the cross-contamination possibilities, but I sometimes eat them anyway and they don't seem to bother me. Like I said I guess that would probably be better than candy!!

Thanks for the ideas DeeAnn. I'm going to just make 1/2 a batch this weekend. That way, if I like them toooooo much I won't do too much damage!! I cannot buy the  Power Bars anymore because I eat them waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too frequently!! They are much healthier than Snickers, but they still have 210 calories each and if not careful I could eat 3 or more per day! That is NOT good!!! So I will just have to not buy any more of those!!!! Hugs,   Piggy

can everyone post their recipes for the protein balls and how much of what you use... i would really like to lower the calories a bit... =) gina
