Balls!

Protein balls, that is.
Protein shakes have always been hard for me to do, so I've looked into other ways to get my protein powder in. The latest discovery, Protein Balls.
I halved the recipe since it was my first try and they turned out pretty good, although a bit drier than the ones in their picture.
Protein Peanut Butter Balls

2 scoops chocolate whey protein powder

1/4 cup honey

3/4 cup raw oats

1 cup peanut butter

Mix all these ingredients in a large bowl.

Form into small 1" balls and place on a baking sheet.

Place in oven at 375 degrees for 5-10 minutes.

Any other ideas?

I might melt

Got a 5K coming up this weekend (one little goal to check of my list) and have wanted to 'train' a bit outside.

See, I've been doing most of my movin' on a treadmill, inside. Outside it's in the 90's...not my kinda weather, for exercising at least.
So, I know 5K really isn't that far, but in the hotty-hot sun, it's a bit brutal.
I've got to get some outside exercise fit in somewhere in the next few days just to prep myself. Better down some extra H2O too!
