How To Make Protein Energy Bites Recipe

Protein Energy Bites, also known as protein energy balls are a healthy and nutritious homemade snack alternative to those mass-produced energy bars loaded with sugar, preservatives, and empty calories. There’s a whole bunch of different variations you can make. This recipe calls for cinnamon, protein powder, peanut butter, and chocolate chips! They’re delicious and great for on the go snacks, and a good way to get the healthy protein you need in your day!

• 1.5 Cups Rolled Oats
• 0.5 Cup Chocolate Protein Powder
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
• 1/3 Chocolate Chips

Wet Ingredients:

• 0.5 Cup Peanut Butter
• 3 Tbsp Natural (Local) Honey
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
•  3 Tbsp Almond Milk

Instructions

• 1. Add in your dry ingredients together. In this specific recipe, you’ll combine your rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and chia seeds in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add in your sticky/wet ingredients – the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir to incorporate into a smooth mixture.
  3. Add in chocolate chip Stir to combine. Mixture should be slightly sticky but still crumbly.
  4. Slowly add in the Almond Milk 1 tablespoon at a time, and using your hands, combine until it comes together in a sticky ball that just barely holds together. If mixture is too dry, you can add in more Almond Milk, but be careful not too much that it will fall apart. Remember, you can always add more, but not take some away!
  5. Since they are a bit difficult to ‘roll’ into balls, so you’ll want to use your hands to press them into spheres.
  6. Place into an air tight container to let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (I’m guilty of eating them right after making them.. quality control!)
  7. Store in fridge until ready to eat.

Refrigerated, these bites can last up to two weeks!
