Here are some recipes that I've gathered from the message boards, but I don't have nutritional info for most of them
PROTEIN BALLS I
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 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

Chocolate Mountains (aka Boiled Cookies)
By Dame Tooter (Bariatricbyes.com)
In a large pot combine:
2 and 1/2 cups Splenda
1/2 water
1 stick melted butter (or 1/2 cup) and we use ONLY real butter
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter (I use Jif Peanut Butter)
6 squares (6 ounces total) of Unsweetened Baker's Chocolate (although Hershey's has a recipe to substitute for Baker's Chocolate with their cocoa, oil, etc. I tried it and it just doesn't "hold" it's shape well enough).
Put Splenda, water, melted butter, peanut butter and squares of chocolate in a large non-stick pot. Melt chocolate into other ingredients over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in 1 tsp. of vanilla
With a heavy wooden spoon mix in quickly 4 cups of rolled "Quick" oats
Mix well and drop onto waxed paper. For best results use an ice cream or cookie scoop and pack well so you have a tightly packed cookie-ball. Let stand until cool. These are not as firm as the traditional full-sugar boiled cookies, but they are very tasty and I'm not missing my boiled cookies nearly as much
If you wish to add shredded coconut to this, I suggest mixing it into the peanut butter so that the cookie holds it's shape.
