Protein Peanut Butter balls?

[Bubblicious]

I seem to remember a recipe that was posted on O2 awhile back and was something like peanut butter, protein powder and some other stuff :o Anyhow, something like that sounded really good to me last night (on my low day) but I could not find the recipe for the life of me! Does anyone have it????

[Gidget]

Was this it?

Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients

1/2 cup all natural creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

1 1/2 scoop vanilla protein

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Roll by hand into 1" balls and chill until firm (about an hour). They make great high protein snacks and are an excellent source of healthy fats. Makes 4 servings.

mmmmm, that sounds good!

[nifferness]

Holy hell!!!

Ummm hello new snack. Yippity Skippity

[Bubblicious]

Those look really good, but I don't think that's the one I'm thinking of :unsure: It seems I remember thinking that they would be great on a low day...then again, maybe I'm losing it :wacko:

I made these last night. They were yummy! They tasted like raw cookie dough to me. Mmmmmmm...

Anyone know the macros?

[Kathryn]

:love: oh gosh, I'm going to have to try these this weekend!

just made them except I took out the honey and added 1/4 c splenda. still very good. i ate 1 - fiancee polished off the other 12 or so. i'd say they were a success.

hot damn these are good. It's hard to not eat all of them. I am thinking of trying the splenda ones instead of honey, add some oats for bulk and make them smaller- then take them to the movies!

1 c. peanut butter
1/2 stick butter, melted

Just in case anyone wants the "regular" recipe :devil:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[andromeda]

THAT'S the recipe my kids love! LOL!

I doubled the recipe last night- used chocolate whey instead and made them into little bite sized marble bites. It made about 70- I am thinking these are now perfect to take to the movies! They look like those "Popables" that all the candy companies make.

Thanks, Jypsie! :)

You could maybe sub SF syrup for the honey?!

tried this- it is still good, but tastes TOTALLY different and the texture is different after being in the freezer- they are really chewy. I also had to use one more scoop of whey to make it not so goopy. It was so runny it wouldn't have formed into balls without the 4th scoop.

I personally like the honey ones better.

Also, a melon baller tool is a godsend when forming these. I saved about 20 minutes!

I think I'll give these a go after I get some sleep.

[colo1278]

CRAP. I stupidly figured out the macros on these.

The way I made it, doubling the recipe, using 1c natty pb, 1/2 cup honey and 3 scoops vanilla myopro whey, it makes about 54 little balls and

each (shooter-marble sized) ball has....

78cals
6g fat (less than 1 saturated fat)
3.5g sugar
8g protein

hmmm, is it bad that my husband and I ate all 54 of them yesterday????

I guess we will have to reduce our portions, lest we turn into little butterballs.... or should I say peanutbutterballs...

I made these and the macros I came with are for 1 serving (there were 4 servings per batch right?)
1 serving cals 305.25
fat 16.5
carbs 25
pro 18.25

maybe I figured wrong, it seems like alot of calories

pb and honey are both pretty caloric, so I think your totals are right- how big are you making them? (I was going to type how big are your balls, but that might come across wrong! :lol: )

hiya-that was one of the main reasons I wanted them small, bc they are so good, I want another one soon! Since I figured out the totals, I have been having one at most meals, sometimes two or three depending on what else I am eating.

Oh and to quote a reply, rather than use the add reply button, use the "quote" button at the top right of the post you want to quote.

Have a nice day! :train:
