Servings: 4
Calories: 133kcal
Ingredients
- 32 g Peanut butter (2 Tbsp)
- 25 g Chocolate whey protein (1/3 cup)
- 40 g Old fashioned oats (oatmeal) (1/2 cup)
- 21 g Honey, pure (1 Tbsp)
- 5 g Unsweetened cocoa (1 Tbsp)
- 2 tsp Water (or skim milk, as needed)
- 2 packets Sweetener (Stevia, Truvia, Splenda, etc)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a medium or large bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
- Mash the ingredients together by pressing down with a large spoon or spatula.
- If the ingredients remain too dry or powdery, add a teaspoon at a time of water (or skim milk) to get the desired consistency.
- Once most of the ingredients have congealed into a clay-like consistency, form them into balls with your hands.
- Compress the balls tightly in your hands so they completely stick together (and won't fall apart when you bite into them).
- Eat right away, or put in refrigerator to cool.
- Store in a sealed container or ziplock bag for future use.
