With this recipe, you will feel like you are having dessert without the sugar and with a TON more protein.

Ingredients:
*2/3 c natural peanut butter
*1/3 c unsweetened almond or coconut milk
*1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Vanilla Shakeology)
*1/4 c gluten-free rolled oats
Directions:
1. Combine natural peanut butter and milk into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes, or until peanut butter is soft and spreadable.
2. Remove bowl from microwave and slowly stir to combine peanut butter and milk.
3. Stir in protein powder. This step takes a little patience - make sure the protein powder is completely dissolved.
4. Add gluten-free rolled oats and stir.
5. Roll into bite-size pieces and refrigerate for 15 minutes to harden.
Makes approximately 12 bites.
Happy Snacking!
