Calories 178cal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (128g) natural, creamy drippy almond butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup (60g) flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup (20g) protein powder of choice (we like Vital Proteins collagen peptides)*
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, dairy free if desired
- Maldon sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, add in almond butter, honey, vanilla and cinnamon; mix until well combined.
- Add the dry. Next add in flaxseed meal, chia seeds, protein powder of choice and mini chocolate chips. At this point I usually have to use my hands to mix and work with the dough and get everything mixed together well. You should be able to form balls that stick together. Because all nut butter consistencies are different and depending on what protein powder you use, you may need to add in more nut butter or sweetener to help the balls stick together.
- Roll & chill. Roll dough into 8 balls and place on a plate; sprinkle with a little sea salt, then transfer to the bites to the fridge to firm up. Once firm (after about 15 minutes), you can transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Makes 8 energy bites.
Notes
If you want to make these without protein powder, we suggest adding 1-2 tablespoons coconut flour or oat flour, or 2-3 tablespoons of almond flour until you can form into balls.
