Protein balls

[Carrie's Journey 130]

I made some Protein balls and LOVE them...my husband loves them too. He wants to always have these things in our freezer. They're probably not super healthy and low cal, but if you want something sweet, these satisfy that craving. And they fill you up (I had 2 and was full).

1 cup old fashioned oats

1 1/2 cups Protein powder (I used chocolate)

1 cup Peanut Butter (I used crunchy Skippy)

Handful of dried fruit (I used cranberries)

Dash of SF Torani Syrup (to taste)

Splenda (I used 3 packets)

Mix the glob together with a little Water until you get a consistency to roll into balls. Roll into balls a little smaller than golf balls and freeze. Take them out and defrost when you plan to eat. They're good frozen and defrosted.

Yum!

Sounds yummy, I will have to try them! BTW, what is SF Torani syrup!

It's the sugar free Syrup that you see at coffee shops. You can buy them online but there are always a couple flavors at my grocery store. No big deal if this is omitted from the recipe.

Great, Thanks!

I made these the other day but used unflavoured Protein Powder and added a tablespoon of cocoa instead of the flavored Protein powder. I also used quick oats and they are so yummy straight from the freezer, but stick really badly to my dentures LOL

About how many balls does this make? I wanted to calculate the protein/carbs per serving

Can sleevers get Peanut Butter down okay? I am a new revision from a band and peanut butter was not tolerated.

I'll have to make them again and I'll let you know. I made the last batch a little big too...

Yep! Probably not until you are allowed solids but it's totally fine now.

Oh sweet heavens!!! I got some planters Peanut Butter a while back to market and there was a Peanut Butter, banana, nut one. I could only try a tiny lick but it was so good. If you ever liked peanut butter banana sandwiches (I know not everyone thinks that is appealing) then this PB is for you. They had other flavors also and it has more Protein. Might try that in the Protein balls when I am ready. Tonight I am struggling with mashed potatoes so it might be a while. I'm not really crazy but my band had been prolapsed for so long I was on the popsicle diet for at least 6 months. Been at least a year since I had anything with more consitency then refried Beans. I'm ready to taste food again

I was going to count them next time & see too...it depends on how big you make them...but it filled my cookie sheet...packed! I need to make some more next week...I can let you know then! I still LOVE them! Thanks again Carrie! :-D

Omg I would eat the entire container of pb banana...I haven't seen that. I can't believe you haven't had real food in that long!!!

They could never get that band adjusted correctly. There is no telling how long it had been prolapsed either. It resulted in 2 units of blood and 3 liters of Fluid with a LOT of potassium added because my stomach had been bleeding internally and my Fluid and electrolytes were so messed up and then there was emergency surgery. Look for Planters Nut-rition (there is banana, berry,and cinnamon).

You're probably so happy to be done with the band! I wanted the band at first but am glad I changed my mind. Anyway, I think I've had the nut-rition berry and I seriously had no self-control. But now I want to try the banana...
