These may not look the best, but trust me, they are amaze-BALLS!
I have been craving something sweet lately. I really don’t want to dive into the candy jar drawer that we have somehow managed to start at my house. I thought, why not make a healthy desert that has protein in it. Well I combined a few amazing ingredients and created these healthy but naughty treats.
Peanut Butter Protein Balls from Above
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of 100% whole wheat oats ( I used quick cooking oats)
1/4 cup of honey
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder ( I used Body Fortress Whey Protein)
Recipe:
I put my oats into my magic bullet to blend them up to almost a flour consistancy. If I were to make these again, I would blend them even more so they are as much like flour as possible.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and roll them into 1″ balls. This recipe made 25 balls. Put them in the fridge for a couple hours to let them chill. Enjoy.
I couldn’t wait for a couple hours, so I popped a couple after about 15 minutes and they are so freaking good. Make them now..thank me later 🙂
Here is the nutrition behind my balls. There were 25 balls, so 1 ball is my serving size.
Like I said before…make them now…thank me later 🙂 You won’t be disappointed!

These are GREAT!! I just found the recipe on Fitness RX’s website and tried them the other night. Holy crap- how yummy! The only thing missing in their recipe are the oats (and I was totally thinking that I should add some next time I make these). Theirs calls for chocolate protein too but since I didn’t have any, I used my favorite Allmax Nutrition IsoFlex Peanut Butter Chocolate protein. So they were extra peanut buttery! (which is pretty much my biggest weakness haha).
PB is totally a weakness of mine too! Ive gotta get some PB protein now!
I use PB2 for the PB taste sans the calories in many recipes and smoothies although I’d love tonind PB protein powder, never seen it…. Wonder who makes it
** to find
ummm I think I should try it
