Pumpkin Protein Balls

So I wanted to try a new recipe... Pumpkin Protein Balls

Sounds pretty yummy, right? 

Well, the recipe I had didn't make much sense but I thought just follow the recipe and you'll be good. 

Recipe:

1/3 C. pumpkin puree

1 1/2 serving of Vanilla Whey Protein Powder

3 C. Honey

1/3 C. Nut Butter

1 1/2 C. Oatmeal

1 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice

So the honey part throws me off... like why 3 cups?!?! But I was trusting the recipe. 

So as you can imagine, it was very wet. I tried adding more oats and protein powder but that didn't even budge. I put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to see if it would thicken up. It might have a little bit, but I still couldn't make balls out of it. So I said whatever and put it in a tupperware and put it back in the fridge and will figure out what to do with it later. 

MAJOR FAIL. 

Although, I did taste it and it does taste really good... so if y'all want to just tweak this recipe, it would be super good! And let me know how it goes :)

Always wanting to try new things, especially easy protein balls that you can just take on the go - so if anyone has an awesome recipe send it my way!!

Happy Thursday everyone!

MIA, sorry!

And I have been MIA for quite a while now, life has gotten in the way. 

I hope to start keeping up with this regularly now that summer is over and there might be more time :) 

Recently, I was asked by an old high school friend for help with her and her boyfriends health journey. It was such a great feeling, knowing that I am inspiring people little by little. I am in the process of creating a few different ideas for lifting and cardio workouts for both of them and it is so much fun to do! 

If anyone else is interested, please let me know! 

On another note, planning a wedding has been a lot of fun so far. It is also nice because we have a few weddings this fall, so it is great getting ideas for ours! Dillon and I were on a mini vacation last week, we went up to Bemidji MN- where we used to live. It was SO SO great seeing our friends and being back up in that beautiful part of the state! Can't wait to go back sometime hopefully soon!!

Later this week, I plan to blog about some energy protein balls that I will be making. Quick and easy snacks are always great, especially when I am on the go a lot! I'm excited to try them and share them with you all :)
