Clean Protein-Packed Energy Bites
A quick, healthy snack that satisfies your cravings while providing a perfect balance of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats
Equipment
- bowl
- measuring cups and spoons
- kitchen spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter or any nut butter
- 1/4 cup Protein Powder vanilla or chocolate
- 1 tsp Stevia Powder
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and stevia powder. Mix well to ensure the protein powder and stevia are evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter to the dry mixture. Stir until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or milk (almond milk, for example); if too sticky, add a bit more oats.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If you're including any optional add-ins, fold them into the mixture until evenly distributed.
- Form Bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, you can refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Chill: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Store: Transfer the chilled energy bites to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage.
