These treats offer a selection of nutrients to restore the body following an aerobic workout, and they offer a wholesome replacement for sweets. The peanuts (legumes) and grain in the cereal combine for a complete protein. The honey enhances glycogen restoring following a workout, and the chipits round out the taste experience! ½ cup all natural peanut butter 1 T honey 2 T chipits, lightly chopped ¼ cup crunchy breakfast cereal, lightly crushed * ¼ cup raw peanuts, lightly roasted and chopped Coconut for rolling
Combine the ingredients by hand. Once everything is thoroughly mixed together, using a spoon, form into balls. Then roll each ball in the coconut so that it is completely covered. Serve and enjoy! The coconut helps to keep the peanut butter from drying out and reduces the oil on the fingers when eating. The chopping of the chipits, cereal and peanuts reduces the size of these chunks so that the peanut butter is not dropping out while eating. It also give a more even distribution of the flavors and textures. Makes approximately 8 balls Reusable opportunities for this recipe: Peanut Butter and Honey purchased in bulk with a jar from home Chipits, cereal (granola), peanuts and coconut purchased in bulk with a Mini Sealed Bulk mothering Mother Bag * The idea of the cereal is to give the treats some crunch. Any crunchy cereal will work, even homemade granola! |
