Honey Nut Energy Bites
Honey Nut Energy Bites are perfect for pre-workout fuel, an afternoon snack or a healthy after dinner treat!
Servings: 18 energy bites
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup raw pistachios, shelled
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Pulse the cashews and pistachios in a food processor or high speed blender until they are the consistency of almond meal.
- Pour them into a medium sized bowl and stir together with the almond meal and protein powder. Add in the almond butter, honey and vanilla and mix everything together with a rubber spatula until it comes together and forms a dough.
- Scoop out a scant tablespoon amount of the dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat the process until all of the dough is gone. Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for several months.
Notes
- A runnier almond butter works best for this recipe.
- If you store the energy bites in the freezer, let them sit out on the counter for a couple minutes before eating as they freeze hard.
