Easy Protein Energy Bites

Easy Protein Energy Bites!! Unlike my other recipes, you don’t need a food processor to make these energy bites! Packed with protein, these bites are filling and delicious!

As you may know, I’m in Week 4 of Faster Way to Fat Loss and am feeling great. Although this is not about losing lbs. but rather trimming down specific parts of my body, increasing my energy level and fitting into my clothes again, I have lost 7 lbs. I can definitely tell a difference and I feel great!

I’m not going to say this is easy because it definitely is not; but it’s highly doable and now that I am in a groove, it’s easier. I will say this, there’s a lot of food prep going into this. Unless you are going to be buying your meals all the time (which in my opinion just wouldn’t be cost efficient), you are going to have to grocery shop, meal prep and cook. A lot. 

Easy Protein Energy Bites

I have a major sweet tooth so I love these protein rich energy bites!! They not only satisfy my sweet treat cravings but because they are packed with protein, they keep me full longer. I hope you try the recipe!

Author: hipfoodiemom

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural smooth peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons Medjool dates chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Using a large mixing bowl and a rubber spatula (or your hands!), combine/mix everything together until well combined and everything is sticking together. If your mix seems to crumbly or dry, add more peanut butter and/or honey or maple syrup. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out and form and shape into balls.
  • Storing: if making a big batch, store in a freezer safe container or gallon sized ziploc bag. If enjoying right away, simply store in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

If storing in the freezer, simply transfer to the fridge the night before to enjoy the next day.
Alternatives for the ingredients:
  1. you can use gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
  2. instead of peanut butter, you can use cashew or almond butter
  3. instead of the Medjool dates, you can use raisins or golden raisins or even dried cranberries. Use any dried fruit you like!

    Is there anyway you could list the protein powder in grams, as they come in so many different size scoops. Thanks in advance, these look great!

      Hi! Mine is 20 or 21 grams but I think you can just use whatever your one scoop is?
