Best Healthy Peanut Butter Balls Recipes
HIGH PROTEIN HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER BALLS - 3 WW POINTS
I was looking for a good-for-you snack. I remembered something my second grade teacher told us (way back when)... if you only had two foods -- peanut butter and milk -- you could survive. This snack contains both. A serving size of 5 peanut butter balls is: 3 WW points and 145 calories. It contains 5 grams of fat (mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind), 6.5 grams of protein, 1.3 grams of fiber, and 17 grams of carbohydrates. You could add fiber by adding unflavored Benefiber in place of some of the powdered milk, or by adding oatmeal, wheat germ or flax meal. You could also boost the protein by adding protein powder. Just keep the liquid / peanut butter / powder ratio the same.

These don't have chocolate, but they have flax, oat bran, rolled oats etc. My 3 yo helps me make these and can easily take a few out of the fridge when he's hungry.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. You may have to mix by hand. I've found it helps to mix with your hands much like kneading dough. It's a little dry, so you may have to add a tiny bit of milk or oil to keep it together.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and store in airtight container in the fridge. You may roll them in wheat germ or powdered sugar if you like.

HEALTHY SWEET PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
This is my take on a healthy, protein-packed, energy-filled peanut butter ball. We all know nuts and seeds are nutritious, but getting them into your diet can be hard when eating them raw doesn't appeal. Here they add a lovely crunchy texture and complement the strong peanut butter taste. This is a great low-carb snack between meals or to satisfy an after-dinner sweet tooth. Make sure you use an all-natural peanut butter with no additives.

Steps:
- Spray a small skillet with cooking spray; add sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Warm over low heat until they just start to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl. Add peanut butter, almond flour, flaxseed meal, dark chocolate, and honey to the bowl. Mix well.
- Scoop out level tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture with a measuring spoon. Roll into balls with your fingers.
- Place shredded coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll each ball in coconut to coat. Transfer to refrigerator; chill until set, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Place ingredients into food blender in the order listed.
- Turn on and blend until mixture is evenly mixed and crumbly looking.
- Use a small melon ball scoop to make the peanut butter balls. Push the peanut butter mixture in there so its nice and compact like brown sugar.
- Put onto a plate or in a container and put in the fridge. You can eat them right away but they are really good after they've sat in the fridge for a little while. Enjoy!
- You can also use creamy peanut butter, but I'm a crunchy kinda gal. Also you can roll the balls in additional wheat germ for an even crunchier ball.

KIDS CAN MAKE: HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
These super easy fiber-packed treats are perfect as an after-school or camp-day snack. (Bonus: they don't need to be refrigerated.) For a more grown-up version, roll them in banana flour (made from freeze-dried bananas) or a little cocoa powder. For little and big kids: Let them help measure ingredients and roll the balls.

Steps:
- Process the raisin bran and brown rice cereals, peanut butter, maple syrup, cherries and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor until the mixture is finely chopped and comes together in a big ball. Roll some into a small ball; if it seems too dry and crumbly, add 1 more tablespoon water.
- Scoop the mixture into slightly mounded tablespoons, then roll them into smooth balls. (Dampen your hands with a little water to help you roll.)
- If using the bananas, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground. Pour them into a small bowl. Roll each truffle in the banana dust until coated. If using the cocoa, pour it into a small bowl, then roll each truffle in it until coated.
- Store the balls at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
