Last week I attended a nutrition seminar at the gym and the nutritionist brought a quick and easy pre or post or workout snack. The recipe she provided was a little sweet so I looked one for another one. This is the one I made. The only thing I would change is using less honey. They were quite sweet at room temperature. The sweetness seemed less prominent after they had been refrigerated. Because the peanut butter is melted, I think they would hold together with less honey.
I followed the recipe as written though I didn't have mini chocolate chips so I chopped up regular size ones.
To form the balls, I used a small scooper, and rolled them in chopped almonds.
Due to the peanut butter, I wouldn't eat this before I work out, but it's good quick snack afterwards.
Here's another type of snack you might try, oatmeal peanut butter bars. I've made them and they aren't bad. I'm sure you could switch up the chocolate chips for a nut or something.

Those look good too! Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteAny time! They were pretty good. I was just expecting a little sweeter taste when I first made them.
