Subject: ZONE - Power Ball snack recipe

OK, here's a simple minded recipe for a convenient, zone friendly
snack that will support infinite (at least many) variations. The
primary C and P sources, fructose and soy protein isolate, are
two of the major constituents of BioZone bars. The oatmeal
(I've also used pearled barley) provides bulk and has a low
glycemic index.

POWER BALLS

Ingredients (nutrient values in grams):

     1/3 cup slow-cooking oatmeal (19C, 9P, 2F) - Bob's Red Mill
            Extra Thick Rolled Oats
     2 oz fructose (57C)
     1 cup non-fat dry milk (36C, 24P)
     2 oz soy protein powder (57P)
     1/2 cup chopped almonds (43F)
     1 tsp vanilla extract

Total: 112C(12 blocks), 81P(12 blocks), 43F(14 blocks)* (*Assumes
3g per fat block since there's essentially no fat
associated with the protein source)

Directions: Cook oatmeal past medium consistencey (12 minutes out
of a recommended 10-20 for the Red Mill brand used
above). Cool to room temperature. Add vanilla. In a separate bowl
combine: fructose, 3/4 cup of the dry milk, protein
pwowder, and nuts. Stir this mixture into oatmeal. Add small
amounts of water until the consistency is to your taste (don't
make it too dry!) and such that small balls can be rolled by hand and
are stable. Form 12 small balls from the mixture and roll each
one in the remainder of the dry milk so that they can be stored
and handled conveniently. Coat your hands with the milk to
facilitate rolling the balls. Store refrigerated. That's it. One
block = one ball. Add/substitute your favorite ingredients (e.g.
honey, cocoa, peanut butter, rum extract, oils, flavored protein
powders) and have a ball.
