Oh boy, I am in chocolate peanut butter heaven!
Well ladies, lets just say I am having so hormonal issues and some chocolate cravings, and I made some protein balls. OMG! I am in heaven!! It tastes like a no bake, and one ball filled me up and satisfied my sweet tooth. It reminds me of the no bakes my mom used to make!
I think I will have to ration these! 6.7g protein per ball, but 97 calories each. Thank goodness one did the trick! Made 25 balls.
I used 4 scoops of about time protein powder, chocolate flavor
5 packets of stevia
1 cup oatmeal (old fashioned)
1/4 cup of ground flax
1 cup of peanut butter ( i used the smuckers all natural, no sugar added)
It took a little muscle to get everything blended, and had to add about 3 tbls of water to get it mixed, but it was worth it!
I wonder if you could use the peanut flour and save some calories from the peanut butter?
I think I might have to hide them from the boys!lol
Have a great day all!

I had a receipe for no sugar no bake cookies and used PB2. They tasted ok, but I would probably need to adjust the PB2. Its a lot fewer calories.
My problem is I can't stop at just 1. I found that out when I made these. Actually, I found that out during Christmas with pretty much anything sweet!!

I'm not to the recipe stage yet (for fear of eating it all), but I'm going to remember this for when I get there. A couple of people have posted cookie/bar type things over in the Atkins group. I just sit and drool. Quite attractive, right?
