Chocolate Protein Poppers
These little guys are so stinkin' tasty! They have a great amount of protein and energy to have a successful run.
Eat 2 or 3 before a run (about 20 minutes) and then head out!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter (I use the natural smuckers)
1 cup dry oatmeal (I got the quick kind rolled oats)
1/3 cup dry coconut flakes (I get organic ones on amazon for pretty cheap)

1 cup dry oatmeal (I got the quick kind rolled oats)
1/3 cup dry coconut flakes (I get organic ones on amazon for pretty cheap)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (you can omit this if you want peanut butter only) 1/4 cup honey (I buy raw, local honey - you can use whatever) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (you can use imitation if you like the taste - I personally do not) Directions: 1. Mix all of the ingredients together (I use my hands) until they are mixed well and form as a giant gob. 2. Put in fridge for 1 hour (you don't have to do this) if the balls form. 3. Pull out mixture and form into 1 inch balls (should have about 20 - 25 balls). 4. Either put in fridge to eat or leave on the counter covered and eat when you like! |
