Chocolate Protein Energy Bites
The perfect energy-boosting snack! Made with nutritious ingredients including oats, flaxseed, peanut butter, and protein powder.
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (or coconut flakes)
- optional 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ⅓ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl using a handheld mixer. Scoop or roll into balls. (About 1 inch in size.) Keep energy bites stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
If the mixture seems to dry add more peanut butter or honey. (About 1 teaspoon at a time.)
I like to use 1/2 regular cocoa powder and 1/2 dark cocoa powder.
