How to Make Energy Boost Bites 👇

Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
• 1/2 cup nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
• 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolate flavor)
• 1/4 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Optional add-ins: chia seeds, flaxseeds, shredded coconut, or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dates:

Place the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste.

2. Add the Nuts and Protein Powder:

Add the nuts and protein powder to the food processor. If you’re using cocoa powder, add it now as well.

• Pulse until the mixture is crumbly but sticks together when pressed.

3. Add Nut Butter and Vanilla:

Add the nut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture comes together in a dough-like consistency.

• If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water or more nut butter. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more protein powder or nuts.

4. Form the Bites:

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.

• If you like, roll the bites in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

5. Chill and Store:

Place the energy bites on a plate or in a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

• Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
