Alvidrez Granola Balls

Alvidrez Granola Balls

At the Anniversary party we made these delicious granola bars. We originally got the idea from Marie Alvidrez, but we put a little UMPT twist on it! They turned out wonderfully!


Makes about 24 small balls.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Quick Cooking Oats
1 1/2 Cups Almond Butter/Peanut Butter
1 Cup Organic Agave Nectar
1 1/2 Cup Raisins
1 1/2 Cup Thinly Sliced Almonds
1/2 Cup Water (Or more depending on the oats you use)
Vanilla to Taste
Optional: Natural Cocoa Powder to Sprinkle on Top
4 Scoops Protein Powder
Directions: Put the oats, almond butter, agave, raisins, almonds, vanilla, protein powder and water in a large mixing bowl. You may want to add more of one ingredient or less of another! Mix until evenly moist. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper. Make small balls and place them on the wax paper. Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until solid. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers for a healthy snack anytime.

Add dry fruit such as apricots or different kinds of nuts! Any other ideas? E-mail them to us and let us know how you like this recipe!
