Healthy Peanut Butter Balls!

I love me some some peanut butter! I wanted to get Dom to eat peanut butter, such a good source or protein.. and believe it or not, he doesn't like PB&J sandwiches, which is fine by me. However, need to get some easy quick protein in that kid, the wheat germ is an added bonus. I thought about replacing the honey with agave, but really enjoy the honey aftertaste with these. Now, I have to tell you to stop wasting your money on brands like Jiff, Skippy etc..they are filled with crap! The second ingredient is sugar, next..molasses, fully hydrogenated vegetable oils, mono and diglycerides, salt - knock it off.. toughen up and eat real food- Real peanut butter that contains, I dont know.. just peanuts? YES! That is what you want, the real deal. It is going to taste different b/c you've become addicted to sugar and oils, cut it out, man-up, you'll not only get used to it.. but you'll be proud of yourself for making such a simple and healthy change and it's deliscious! (stepping down from soap box). I digress, The coconut flakes, well.. depends on how crazy you want to get!

Got idea from Yoga Instructor; found recipe at http://www.recipezaar.com/

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
  
• 1/2 cup nonfat organic dry milk powder
  
• 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  
• 1 tablespoon honey
• If you're feelin jazzy (you little risk taker) roll in some coconut flakes at the end

Directions

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.
