High Energy Protein Bites

HERE is a great protein bite recipe.  You can modify this with your favorite protein and sub in a dairy free milk too if you’d like.  Thanks Macrostax! We love good food on the go!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (40g) quick oats
  • 1 ½ rounded scoops (44g) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard vanilla whey protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (92g) natural creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup (85g) honey
  • 1 teaspoon fat free milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (we used “Nestle Toll House”)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the first four ingredients (oats, protein powder, cinnamon, salt) together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients (peanut butter, honey, milk, and vanilla) and stir well with a fork or spatula. The dough will be thick!
  2. Fold in the chocolate chips. Use a spoon to scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll between your palms to form a ball. You should have a total of 12 energy bites.
  3. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before enjoying. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or the freezer for up to 3 months.
