Devil's Icebox: This has become of our favorite places to go exercise, hike and spelunk.It's about 15 mins. from our place and almost every time Alex comes into town we visit. The last time we decided to go out and get some head lamps and flashlights so we could really explore the caves better.
After our day of hiking, spelunking and working off some calories we decided to make a post workout snack - homemade protein dots. We actually saw these at the gym cafe. Most of the ones I've seen in the local stores or the cafe have coconut on them which I'm not a big fan of so we made our own.
Chocolate PB Protein Dot Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 servings (scoops) of whey chocolate protein powder
- 2.5 servings instant oats (1/2 cup per serving)
- 1 bottle of PB2 - which by the way I've recently become a huge fan of
- Few tbsp's of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
We mixed all the ingredients together and then put them in the freezer for a few hours. This recipe makes 15 dots. If I was to make them again I would use a minimal amount of almond milk because the PB2 already makes it pretty moist. It was a bit messy trying to shape into the "dot" but we managed and had some fun in the process. The freezing helped to make them easier to handle when you want to eat them. I'd like to make them again and try experimenting with pumpkin and other ingredients. They were pretty tasty and a nice change from protein bars/shakes. Nutritional breakdown below.
Thanks Alex for an always active and health inspired weekend! xo
those look delicious! i'll have to give 'em a shot. thanks for sharing!
