Peanut, Peanut Butter (Balls)

I love snacks. How about you? Yeah, I thought so. Most of the sweet snacks out there aren't very healthy. We make a snack that's sweet AND healthy, if you can believe it. They're called Peanut Butter/Protein Balls. They are perfect for on the go, to put in lunch bags, and lots more. Including the refrigerating process (which takes 15 minutes) they take about 30 minutes to make. The following list is a recipe for these delicious balls. Let me know what you think by posting a comment (you need a google account to do that). Try me! Like me!

Peanut Butter/ Protein Balls:

3/4 cup nonfat milk powder

1/2 cup ground flaxseed (also okay to use whole flaxseed)

1/2 cup peanut butter (the less sugar the better)

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup crushed cereal (I use oatmeal that I first zap in the food processor)

Combine first two ingredients. Add peanut butter then honey and stir to mix well. (This takes some elbow grease! Make sure all ingredients are well blended.) Stir in any combination of the following (or anything else you think would be yummy):

1/3 cup raisins

1/3 cup Craisins

1/3 cup sunflower nuts

1/3 cup chocolate chips

1/3 cup walnut (chips)

Now roll into balls and then put the balls into a bowl of the crushed cereal to coat them. Refrigerate until firm (about 15 minutes).

TIP: Every time I make this, I wish I made more. Double the recipe!!
