I've been making a version of these protein balls that are not IC friendly with peanut butter and mini M&M's (eek!), but I've been trying to make healthier choices and stop cheating on my IC diet as much. I tried something a little different and they turned out delicious! These are great for a quick morning breakfast, a post work-out snack, or a healthy dessert alternative. I make a new batch the start of every week so I have them there for whenever I need.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cup Almond Butter
1 Cup Oats
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
3/4 Cup Dried Blueberries
1Tbsp Honey
*Optional 1 spoonful flax/chia seed mix (for added health benefits)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to food processor and blend until well blended. Roll into small balls. Makes approximately 16 balls. Store in refrigerator.
I can't wait to try these. I am also looking for recipes that are healthier to help with weight loss. A major downside with IC for me has been weight gain due to the meds and having to use fat or oil based ingredients to flavor foods since I can no longer user foods like tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc. Thanks for this recipe. So looking forward to trying it. I am sure it's a winner like all of your other recipes.
