Nutritional Peanut Butter Balls

I found this recipe from Googling "healthy snacks" it was the best one I could find that was more than plain fruit and still healthy. I got it off of All Recipes.


Ingredients
1/2 C peanut butter
1/4 C skim milk powder
*1/4C flaked coconut
1/3C rolled oats
1/2tsp cinnamon
1/4C wheat germ
1/4C unsweetened apple juice concentrate

Directions
1. Combine peanut butter, milk powder and coconut. Stir in oats, cinnamon, wheat germ and apple juice concentrate until thoroughly combined.
2. Shape the mixture into 1 inch balls. Chill before serving, store extras in refrigerator.

These tasted... interesting. I think it was the wheat germ that gave it a bit of a funny after taste. It does taste healthy
 though. They aren't gross, but most of the people in my family would rather eat fruit for a healthy snack. It tasted a bit like this healthy all-natural cereal stuff that my dad keeps in the fridge, so I think I'll leave it to him to eat them.

*I don't love coconut so I decided to substitute it for Rice Crispies which worked well and gave a nice crunch to the balls. Although when I was finished rolling the balls they looked kinda nasty, a little bit like poop, so I rolled them in coconut and put a few pieces of shredded almond on top to make them look more aesthetically pleasing.
