PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALLS

This recipe comes from Women's Health magazine...and my oh my...are they delicious!! Great snacks for before or after a workout!

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALLS

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup honey
• 1 cup old fashioned oats (not the quick cook)
• 1 cup diced apricots*
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 3 scoops vanilla protein powder
• cinnamon to taste

In a pot, heat honey and peanut butter until runny. Mix in apricots, nuts, oatmeal and protein powder. Stir until well-coated. Let mixture cool in fridge and then roll into bite sized balls. These can be frozen and taken out one or two at a time (if you really have that much self control!)

*Somebody (husband!) ate part of my bag of apricots (isn't he sweet?), so I had to substitute a half cup of craisins. Yummy! I also had a fleeting moment where I considered throwing in a few chocolate chips, which would certainly be tasty, but not very healthy!

Hope you love these as much as I do!
