Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup (50g) Rolled Oats
  • ¼ cup (40g) Dried Cranberries
  • ¼ cup (30g) Shelled Pistachios, Chopped
  • ¼ cup (30g) Vanilla Protein Powder
  • ¼ tsp (1g) Sea Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250g) Almond Butter
  • 2 tbsp (40g) Honey
  • ½ tsp (2.5ml) Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating the base for the protein bites.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, vanilla protein powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Form Bites: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch bite-sized balls. Ensure they are compact so they hold together.
  4. Chill: Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
  5. Store: Transfer the set protein bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to one week.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • You can swap almond butter for peanut or cashew butter based on preference or allergies.
  • Adjust the protein powder type to suit dietary needs—whey or plant-based options work well.
  • Ensure the protein powder is dry to prevent the mixture from becoming too sticky.
  • For extra texture, toast the oats lightly before use.
  • These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to one month—just thaw before eating.
