Homemade Protein Bars/Balls

Another variation can be found HERE
Greek yogurt with Peanut Butter
I like to make it with 1/2 cup greek yogurt (60 Calories) and 1 TBSP peanut butter (100 Calories).
It is still kind of tangy so I add 1 packet of stevia.
But the more I eat it the less I need the stevia.
You could also add some honey which would be delicious.

Almonds and Apple
1/4 cup of almonds (170 Calories) and a small apple (100 Calories) in my gym bag are the perfect after workout snack.

Whole Grain Waffles
These are a favorite at our house. My girls request them almost daily for breakfast. I like to have them for a snack with a little peanut butter and banana slices. I usually double the recipe because they keep well in the fridge or freezer.

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup Old-Fashioned Oats
1 Egg
2 Cups Buttermilk
(I used 2% milk and added lemon juice since I never have buttermilk on hand)
1 TBSP Molasses
2 TBSP unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
Pretty much just mix everything together and cook in a waffle iron. If you use 1/4 cup of batter per waffle the recipe will make 15 waffles at 67 calories each.
Edamame
Another family favorite. But they are known as slippery beans at our house:). A 1/2 cup of shelled edamame has aound 115 calories, 10 grams of protein and about 4 grams of fiber.
