This week I figured that I would make a snack that I could munch on whenever I needed a little something. I got this Protein Ball recipe from a friend Jen, but there are many variations available online. I added some flax, chia seeds, and chocolate chips to make the recipe a little more hearty. Next time I think I will add some coconut, hemp hearts and raisins. I will keep them in a container in the freezer and just take out what I need. I decided that they are best cold or semi frozen. These little bite size protein balls were absolutely delicious. I just need to convince my husband to try one. I brought them to work and Kayla thought they were delicious too. Have you ever tried a protein shake or using protein powder in recipes ? If you are interested in adding a protein shake to your routine I can suggest some of the ones I have tried, just let me know!
Used to make protein cookies with cranberries and yogurt in the mix. Very delicious! 🙂
Cool idea!

Hey Chalyn,
These look great. You should use a little crushed flax seed in those protein balls, it would help with digestion. I will add my recipe for colon balls on my blog soon. You’ll love them too. Good for you lady.

I used flax seeds that were not crushed, is there more of a benefit if I was to grind them up versus eating the seeds whole?

Hey Chalyn! Great question and sorry I haven’t gotten back to you until now. I must have missed this comment. Anyway, I learned the answer to this question from my cousin who is an agronomist. Feel free to follow her @karenfatteicher . Karen pretty much summed up this article for me: http://www.linwoodshealthfoods.com/blog/article/ground-flaxseed-vs-whole-flax-seed-which-is-best-for-you1

I would love the recipe for protein waffles, as long as they taste nothing like the banana pancake I made last week!

Just to verify these protein balls were delicious a perfect filling snack for the morning. I do really like the Arbonne protein powder as well because it is all natural!

DC3's flew forever and the 737's are now in the same category. The old ones just keep moving farther into the hietnrlands. 747's have been flying a long time too. You sure 20 years is the limit? Tell me it ain't so as I have lots of places to go on old Boeings.

I’m willing to say that ther are moderate Muslims, but I also say that we can not count on them when the rubber meets the road.There are a few in the American Military, those are proving they can be depended on. But still, they must follow the Qur’an if they are to be true believers. How they handle that, I don’t know.Meanwhile, we didn’t get our expected result from Mad Jad today. But we found out why:I really think we should help them out.How about you?Papa RayWest TexasUSA

Bloom ‘Full ‘n’ Flirty’ mascara!! It has a great wand that lets you lengthen and thicken, and the natural formula doesn’t irritate my eyes or smudge!! At $29 a pop, it’s not too exxy either. WIN!
