Protein Balls - new recipe

Tweet

I made something pretty good yesterday. I really want to use tahini or almond butter, or sunflower seed butter, but peanut butter is what I had. Here's what I did. I put about six packets of instant apples and cinnamon oats in a bowl. (Rolled oats are a lot harder to chew, these are easy.) I mixed in about four scoops of chocolate flavored protein powder. Mine is soy and whey. I added one 16 ounce jar of peanut butter. I mixed it up into a dough, chilled it, then rolled it in ground black sesame. Result: a fairly low sugar, good tasting ball of protein with a thiamine boost. It's basically a no-bake cookie concept. You could alter the butters, add dried fruit, roll it in coconut, change the protein powder, and all kinds of other variations. I liked mine, you might too.
