DIY Energy/protein balls

in #food8 years ago

I stumbled upon this recipe on darebee.com an excellent website with tons of exercises and recipes for a healthy lifestyle. I decided to give one a try seeing that I had all of the necessary ingredients. I highly recommend these. They make a great snack or even a small meal.

1 1/2 cups (125g) uncooked oatmeal

First add the oats, peanut butter and cranberries to a medium/large size bowlIMG_7210.JPG

You can then add the banana to help bind the mix together. *add coconut if you wish
Roll with your hands into small balls
*I made 24 with this recipe, it will vary depending how big you make each one
When finished, store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour

Tasty little treats. Enjoy!
