Categories     Snack

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup drippy all-natural peanut butter
1/3 cup vanilla protein powder (we used Garden of Life)*
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1-4 teaspoons water*

Steps:

  • Place peanut butter, protein powder, rolled oats, chia seeds, honey, and mini chocolate chips into a medium bowl.
  • Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the dough together. At this point, begin to add water by the teaspoon.
  • Depending on how drippy your peanut butter is, you'll need to add more or less water. The water not only helps moisten things so your balls hold shape, but they actually help your balls become less chalky.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your palms. Roll into balls until all dough is gone. You should get somewhere between 14-16 balls.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

HIGH PROTEIN HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER BALLS - 3 WW POINTS



High Protein Healthy Peanut Butter Balls - 3 Ww Points image

I was looking for a good-for-you snack. I remembered something my second grade teacher told us (way back when)... if you only had two foods -- peanut butter and milk -- you could survive. This snack contains both. A serving size of 5 peanut butter balls is: 3 WW points and 145 calories. It contains 5 grams of fat (mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind), 6.5 grams of protein, 1.3 grams of fiber, and 17 grams of carbohydrates. You could add fiber by adding unflavored Benefiber in place of some of the powdered milk, or by adding oatmeal, wheat germ or flax meal. You could also boost the protein by adding protein powder. Just keep the liquid / peanut butter / powder ratio the same.
