Peanut Butter Protein Power Balls

Peanut Butter is how I tricked him into tofu last month. This month I share with you how I sink more protein into those cute little cheeks each week!

  • 1 cup Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1-1/4 cup Powder
  • 1 tsp. Watkins peanut butter flavoring
  • 1 cup nonfat powdered milk, NOT reconstituted, just the powder
Put it all in a bowl and mix it until it binds to itself and not to the bowl. Roll into 30 balls. Each ball is one complete block. You can roll them in cocoa powder to make them even more appealing to the kiddies in our families and in our selves.

Note: If you can't find reduced fat peanut butter, you can try using a natural peanut butter and pouring some of the fat off the top. That peanut oil has about 14 grams of fat per tablespoon, so you may have to do a little computing to figure out what you are doing with making your OWN reductions.

You might also want to consider: if you are feeding these to kids or if you are in maintenance, then the extra oil of the regular peanut butter is not an issue. Both groups need the extra fat, and it is a wonderful monounsaturated fat source.
