Peanut butter protein balls

Today is yet again time for a really easy recipe. This time it is peanut butter protein balls. The recipe makes 12 little balls.

 

What do you need?

 

How to make them?

This is so easy! First melt your butter and coconut oil a little bit in the microwave, then add peanut butter and mix well. After that add in your protein powder and coconut flakes. Taste a little bit. If it needs to be sweeter, add some sweetener of your choice. You can also add seasonings like cinnamon etc but I prefer them as is.

Let the dough sit in the fridge/freezer for a little while until it is moldable. Then roll the dough into 12 little bite sized balls and put back in the fridge. Let them set completely for about 30 minutes.

And you’re done! Enjoy your peanut butter protein balls.

 

What about nutrition?

The whole recipe is 360 kcal, 20 grams of protein, 10 grams of total carbs (of which 2 grams is fiber), 24 grams of fat.

If divided into 12 balls, each ball is 30 kcal, 1,66 grams of protein, 0,83 grams of total carbs (so net carbs comes to 0,66 grams per ball), 2 grams of fat.

Food Friday 4.10.2013

On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all.

This Friday was a lot more important than usually because it was the day before my official 10K race at Tartu 2. Tudengimaraton. Before my first ever race at Narva Energy Run 7K, I had a different food plan since it was my mom’s birthday party. That Food Friday worked well for my race. Lets see if my regular food plan does the trick, too.

 

Breakfast (10.15 AM)

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 slice of bacon

  • 2 slices of cheese

  • 10 grams of flax seeds

  • 150 grams of red bell pepper

  • 10 grams of butter

  • big cup of coffee

  • 20 grams of cream

 

Snacks (1.30 & 4 PM)

  • 37 grams of brazilnuts

  • cup of peppermint tea (I was freezing in my dorm!)

 

Dinner (6.15 PM)

  • one large avocado

  • 1 smoked chicken leg (about 350 grams with the bones in)

  • 25 grams of raw cabbage (not on the picture)

 

All together about 1600 kcal. No clue about net carbs but I think I’m was totally fine today. Ok, the smoked chicken leg wasn’t ideal because it is a store bought product but every once in a while won’t kill me.

 

Next Food Friday in a week!
