NUT BUTTER POWER BALLS
Your grandkids are coming to visit during the holidays and you’re wondering what to feed them. You want your grandchildren to discover that healthy food can be yummy.
I’ve found that kids are likely to enjoy the food they help prepare, and this healthy snack is something the grandkids can help you make. They may enjoy experimenting with the options you provide. If one of the children has a peanut allergy, be sure to use only almond butter.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Peanut or Almond Butter
- 1/2 cup Non-fat Dry Milk Powder or Soy Protein Powder
- 1/2 cup Raisins, Chocolate Chips, or Craisins
- 1/4 cup Honey
- Graham Cracker Crumbs
Directions
- Place Graham Crackers in a self-sealing plastic bag and crush by running a rolling pin back and fourth over the bag. (If you don’t have a rolling pin, you can use a plastic glass or an un-opened soup can.)
- Mix all the other ingredients in a large bowl.
- Shape mixture into 1-inch diameter balls.
- Roll in crumbs and refrigerate. (Can also be frozen.)
I’m thinking this will be a favorite snack the grandkids will ask for time and again. Just don’t eat too many of these yourself!
Together, let’s invite our children and grandchildren’s imaginations (and good eating habits!) out to play.
