A powerful SNACK!

I was so excited to make these once again.............. PEANUT BUTTER POWER BALLS!

I made these several months ago and decided I wanted to share this delicious all natural protein packed and energy filled snack with all of you.

This snack literally takes 10 minutes and can last days depending on how often you sneak one in. I always pop a couple in 30 minutes before a workout for extra long lasting energy.
PEANUT BUTTER POWER BALLS


Chop 1/3 cup of raw almonds

Chop 1/2 cup dried apricots

Pour 1/2 cup of whole uncooked oats in your measuring cup and set aside.


In a small sauce pan over medium heat pour in

1/2 cup of LOCAL honey (for all you allergy ridden Austinites) I used ROUND ROCK honey

1/2 cup of all natural peanut butter (real peanut butter should only have 1 ingredient, PEANUTS)
Let the honey and peanut butter melt together.
Once the Peanut butter and honey melt together add your 1/2 cup of raw uncooked oats, 1/3 cup of almonds, 1/2 cup of dried apricots and stir until it all mixes. Once it is cool enough to touch roll into small balls and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

You will have a delicious powerful SNACK before your workout!
