[00:00:04.080]Hi, I'm Dani Higgins,
[00:00:05.550]a senior nutrition and health sciences major
[00:00:08.040]and student intern with Dining Services.
[00:00:10.650]Today, I'll be showing you how to meal prep a simple
[00:00:13.330]on the go snack that you can pop right into your backpack.
[00:00:16.990]We'll be making quinoa peanut butter cup protein balls.
[00:00:21.090]The quinoa in these protein balls is rich with fiber,
[00:00:25.130]which can help lower cholesterol levels
[00:00:27.460]and is also a great source of antioxidants,
[00:00:30.150]which can help protect your heart and other organs.
[00:00:33.380]Next, we'll write a detailed shopping list
[00:00:35.570]of all of the ingredients we'll need
[00:00:37.100]to make the protein balls.
[00:00:39.090]This recipe calls for quinoa, chia seeds, peanut butter,
[00:00:43.420]vanilla extract, and chocolate chips.
[00:00:46.070]If you choose to select natural peanut butter
[00:00:48.320]for this recipe, it doesn't contain any added sugars.
[00:00:52.200]Therefore, you will need to stir the oil that settles
[00:00:54.690]at the top of the jar.
[00:00:56.890]These peanut butter cup balls will retain their freshness
[00:00:59.860]throughout the week and can be easily stored
[00:01:02.610]as a quick snack between classes.
[00:01:05.170]The first step of making any meal
[00:01:07.180]is making sure that you wash your hands thoroughly
[00:01:09.880]for 20 seconds with soap and water.
[00:01:13.420]Now, it's time to make the quinoa peanut butter cup balls.
[00:01:16.960]This recipe calls for one cup of cooked quinoa,
[00:01:20.258](upbeat music continues)
[00:01:24.350]1/4 cup of chia seeds,
[00:01:26.404](upbeat music continues)
[00:01:30.200]1/4 cup of chocolate chips,
[00:01:32.179](upbeat music continues)
[00:01:35.070]one teaspoon of vanilla,
[00:01:36.600](upbeat music continues)
[00:01:39.210]and 1/2 cup of peanut butter.
[00:01:41.472](upbeat music continues)
[00:01:51.820]Peanut butter might be a little bit difficult
[00:01:53.640]to stir with other ingredients,
[00:01:55.400]so I suggest splitting it into smaller chunks
[00:01:58.260]to allow you to mix a little bit easier
[00:02:00.150]and avoid making a mess.
[00:02:01.651](upbeat music continues)
[00:02:04.270]To make the peanut butter cup balls,
[00:02:06.260]take a scoop of the mixture, place it in your hand,
[00:02:11.970]and roll it into a ball.
[00:02:15.060]And then, place it on a plate or platter.
[00:02:18.150]And finish this until all of the mixture has been used.
[00:02:20.880](upbeat music continues)
[00:02:25.990]Once you have finished,
[00:02:26.890]place the protein balls in their airtight storage container,
[00:02:30.890]and then place them in the refrigerator to set.
[00:02:33.032](upbeat music continues)
[00:02:38.390]I hope that you found this recipe an easy on the go snack.
[00:02:41.600]Thanks for watching,
[00:02:42.470]and I'm Dani Higgins with Dining Services.
