# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
1 cup rolled oats
02 -
½ cup vanilla protein powder
03 -
¼ cup dried blueberries
04 -
1 teaspoon lemon zest
05 -
½ teaspoon cinnamon
06 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 -
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
→ Wet Ingredients
08 -
⅓ cup almond butter
09 -
2 tablespoons honey
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, dried blueberries, lemon zest, cinnamon, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
02 -
Add the almond butter and honey to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a sturdy spoon or your hands, mix everything together until well combined and the mixture sticks together when pressed.
03 -
Once the mixture holds together, roll it into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter (roughly tablespoon-sized). If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling, or lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking.
04 -
Place the protein bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow them to firm up.
05 -
Transfer the chilled protein bites to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy as a quick snack, breakfast on-the-go, or post-workout fuel!
# Notes:
01 -
For a different flavor, substitute peanut or cashew butter for the almond butter.
02 -
Fresh blueberries can replace dried, but the mixture may be wetter and harder to handle.
03 -
Add ground flaxseed for additional fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
04 -
Increase honey or maple syrup to 3 tablespoons for a sweeter taste.
05 -
If sticky, refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
