Drescription

Protein balls are a wonderful snack to have on hand—each ball is low in sugar and clocks in at under 100 calories. However, you can also eat them as a wholesome dessert or as a sweet finish to a high-protein breakfast. You could also eat one alongside your favorite protein bar, or enjoy a couple in place of a protein bar before or after a workout.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Store in the refrigerator.

Slow Cooker

Easy Slow Cooker Potato Leek Soup with Boursin

This creamy slow-cooker leek soup showcases leeks’ mild onion flavor, enhanced by plenty of fresh and dried herbs and with potatoes adding texture and body. Boursin is a soft, spreadable cheese, similar to whipped cream cheese, that comes in a variety of flavors. We like how the garlic-and-herb flavor enhances the overall flavor of the soup, but you can substitute sour cream. To prevent the sour cream from curdling in the hot soup, place in a small bowl and slowly stir in some of the hot broth until the mixture is smooth and creamy-looking before adding to the slow cooker.

Vegetarian Chopped Liver

I'm not sure where I originally found this recipe, but my copy is on a worn, torn sheet of ruled paper. Vegetarian (or Mock) Chopped "Liver" tastes like the real thing, yet is vegetarian-friendly. It is also budget-friendly. Plus, it uses up that half-bag of brown lentils you have hiding in the back of the pantry.
