Power Puff


The minute I get done with a workout, I am always looking for something to eat. Typically, I will have some raw veggies and hummus, but most times I want something bad for me, like a giant piece of chocolate cake or a cookie or that oooey goooey brownie staring at me in my companies break room. Heck, if I am really desperate, those nasty powdered donuts start to look pretty appetizing!

This was my life every time I would work out until I tasted these incredible power puff balls. They hit all of my cravings, sweet, salty and gooey. I can eat one or two of these without destroying the work I put in during my sweat fest.


If you are looking to splurge a little, I would highly suggest adding Nuttella to these bad boys. Pure heaven.

Vegan Power Puffs Recipe

4 cups puffed millet cereal
2/3 cup raisins
2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped (or nut of choice)
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1 cup brown rice syrup
1-2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
salt if desired

1) In a medium bowl mix the cereal, raisins, cranberries, nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

2) In a small saucepan combine the peanut butter and brown rice syrup. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until warm and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt if desired. Pour over cereal the mixture and stir until thoroughly coated.

3) Wait until cooled slightly, the peanut butter mixture can get very hot, then mold into balls (the size of golf balls). Transfer mixture to a cookie sheet to continue cooling. Tip – it helps to dampen hands, this mix can get very sticky.

This recipe makes 36 to 40 Vegan Power Puffs.
