Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 0.25 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 drops liquid stevia (or preferred sweetener)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the mixture is warm and easily stirrable.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture and stir until smooth.
Mix in the unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped mixed nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Add the liquid stevia and sea salt. Stir the mixture until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more coconut oil or water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
