So since I was feeling ultra productive yesterday, I decided to try a new recipe. Nick and I are preparing for a trip to Mexico with several of our friends in April and we really want to look good. Thus, we need some "healthy" recipes. And with holidays approaching, man oh man, do we have a sweet tooth! Well, I tried a new "Pumpkin Protein Ball" recipe last night, and Nick's response? "These can't be good for you!" Guess what, they are?!! Soooo... I must share this great recipe! (tastes just like a no-bake cookie!)
Pumpkin Protein Balls
· 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
· 1/2 cup pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
· 1/4 cup honey or agave <— I used honey
· 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
· 3/4 cup vanilla protein powder <— I used chocolate*
· 1 cup quick oats
· 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Enjoy!
