This was originally posted in one of the forums but I can't remember from who to give them credit.
PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALL RECIPE©
1 CUP of Peanut Butter (smooth or junky)..your preference
1 CUP of vanilla protein powder (again...your choice!!)
1 CUP of Rice Crispy Cereal (or granola...again, your choice!!)
Splenda to suit your taste
1/3 cup of water (set aside in a bowl)
3 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder (i really love the70% cacao powder..no sugar too!)
3 packets of SPLENDA to be used for coating
1. MIX peanut butter, protein powder together.
2. FOLD in the rice crispy cereal
3. MIX peanut butter, protein and cereal until ingredients are well mixed.
4. ADD Splenda to suit your taste (optional...but it adds a bit of that "sweet" flavor that we crave!)
5. DIP finger tips in water and coat the palm of your hand
6. FORM 1" balls with the protein ball mixture
7. ROLL the 1" balls in cocoa powder and Splenda (packets work best..use more or less to suit your taste) so that they resemble a truffle
8. REFRIGERATE and enjoy cold (they keep for about a week...IF everyone doesn't eat them before you do! LOL) CHEESECAKE PROTEIN BALL RECIPE©
OKAY!
Instead of PB, use Cream Cheese!!!! Instead of Cocao Powder, use chopped almonds or macadamia nuts! Add some vanilla extract for a yummy taste!!!
Want more of a cheesecake consistency?!?!??! ADD one EGG, 1 tablespoon of flour with pure vanilla extract... Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes.. COOL and ENJOY!!! Want a little bit of fruit with it?!?!?!
ADD 1/4 tablespoon of 100% Real Fruit jam (I love the blackberry 100% preserves...What a heavenly treat...curbs the sweet craving AND is good for you!!
Each 1" protein ball has about 10 grams of protein (give or take a gram if you use more or less of the PB or Cream Cheese)... and if you use 100% complex carbohydrate cereal such as Rice Crispies or Granola, it can bump up the protein AND fiber!!!
When I make these (I still do at 5 years post!!), I have to tell my kids to STAY AWAY FROM EM! LOL
Hope this helps!! Just eating 4 a day can easily at 40 grams of protein!! Add this with some lean turkey or tuna and you will easily surpass your daily requirement!! CHOCOLATE CHIP MINT PROTEIN BALLS© (Chips are optional!!)
1 CUP of cream cheese
1 CUP of chocolate protein powder
1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of mint extract
1/2 Cocoa Powder (set aside half for coating)
Splenda to taste
1/3 cup of water
OPTIONAL: 1/4 cup or more of carob chips or sugar free chocolate chips (Hersheys makes one now!!!) OR if you are like me and have a horrible reaction to sugar free products, I use about 1/2 handful of dark chocolate morsels)
OPTIONAL: Dark chocolate shavings (also can use sugar free!)
1. MIX cream cheese, protein powder, extracts, Splenda, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder together
2. FOLD in carob chips or chocolate chips (optional!!)
3. Form 1" balls
4. Dip fingers in water and coat the palm of your hand
5. ROLL in remaining cocoa powder
6. REFRIGERATE
7. ENJOY!!!!
As with the basic protein ball (peanut butter) recipe, the average protien for each ball is about 10 grams (less or more depending on the type of protein powder you use and also the size of balls)
