Healthy Eating | Protein Poppers

Recipes

27 Aug

We’ve been on a quest for quite some time to eat as healthy as possible around here. Now notice I said ‘possible’ because when it comes to pizza, I have a REALLY hard time passing it up. ugh *smh* BUT… we have discovered nucentix gs-85 and a few snacks that we love around here that are healthy! YAY! And I wanted to share one of our favorites! They are called Protein Poppers/ Protein Balls/ No-bake Energy Bites and they are delicious and SUPER easy to make! I usually buy isagenesis at the end of every month, but this month, I decided to go with this snack. My husband especially loves to have them on hand during burning season; he’s a forester/ soil scientist and is in the woods a good bit so they are super easy for him to tote around in his pants pockets while he’s out and about. 🙂 I also snapped a few pictures with using my VPNtone for iPhone of the last batch I made. So… enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 cups dry oatmeal (I use old-fashioned oats)
2/3 cup coconut flakes
1 cup nut butter (I used 1/2 cup almond and 1/2 cup peanut butter)
1 cup ground flax seed meal
1 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, but you KNOW I can’t leave out CHOCOLATE)
1/2 cup raw honey
2 tsp vanilla

Directions:
1. Mix together all the ingredients. Make sure everything is mixed together really well; go on, use some elbow grease!

2. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. The longer you chill it, the better the balls bind together!

3. Roll the mixture into balls about 1-inch in diameter and enjoy!

This recipe makes about 25 to 30 balls depending on how big you roll them.

Note: I also have several friends that have started making these and have discovered some pretty awesome substitutions! Don’t be afraid to experiement, just throw in some of these different ingredients if you like them!!! For instance try placing them between vegan bread or serving them with honey on top and various other combinations to create new recipies.

Substitutions:
Dry ingredients:
Dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots
Chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts
Sunflower seeds or pine nuts

Wet ingredients:
Agave nectar for honey

Anytime we vacation, you can bet fishing and/or hunting will always be interspersed. 🤪 So, it’s a good thing I enjoy just being outdoors, walking creek and river banks, and taking pictures. But there *was* one said adventure where I thought for sure I was going to end up nose-to-nose with a grizzly, mountain lion, or moose. 😅 And it was cold and raining. lol 🫠 But we made the most of it! 

We also spent some time playing on one of the nearby lakes. We all even braved the cold water! 🥶🤣

We checked out one of the waterfowl viewing areas and grabbed pizza at our favorite little roadside restaurant where the kiddos love to play pool and Pac-Man. 🤣

Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! Can’t go to Montana without putting in some steps. 😁 And it’s always the best when the hike includes amazing views along the way. It’s no big deal to pass people hiking and everyone has pistols strapped to their chests. Just an observation- which I don’t mind one bit. After all, we were in grizzly/ mountain lion/ moose country.  You can see on the wilderness sign that grizzlies have clawed it and bitten chunks out of it. 😅 I learned that the huge rock fields we passed attract grizzlies, where they source a certain type of moth for nutrition. They can be heard at times, flipping boulders in search of those moths. 

We also had our little sidekick Pippa along on the adventure, too! We fell in love with that little doggo while there. 🥰 And found an awesome patch of huckleberries rambling around on the national forest. They are SO. GOOD! So very thankful for the Cole family adventuring with us!

We arrived in Montana Aug. 1 and re-connected with our friends, who were so gracious to host us while visiting. (Seriously, so blessed! 🙏) Jason met Seth back in 2005ish through work, when both couples lived in Tennessee, and hit it off instantly. We have remained friends through having families, and moving in different directions, and now our kiddos have been able to grow up knowing each other.  Couples friends are hard to find in life and we don’t take that for granted!

The first adventure was a ride on the road up the mountain behind their house. Holy moly what a view, right in their backyard, basically! 😱

Our family is 21 years old today! 8/14/04 Thank you, Lord, for leading us to each other all those years ago as high school students. 🥹💜

We also recently finished a series of videos that I wish we would have had as newlyweds, so I want to share them with you today. So incredibly important as you walk through life in a marriage, because it’s downright HARD at times, but 100% worth it! 🙏

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.
