Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup medjool dates, pitted and packed
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Add-ons

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend wet ingredients: Add the pitted and packed medjool dates, almond butter, and maple syrup to a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a sticky base.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Incorporate the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the food processor. Pulse the mixture until a thick dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
  3. Combine mix-ins: Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts if using, carefully mixing to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Shape bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each portion into a ball using your hands. Place the formed bites onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  5. Chill and set: Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to serve and enjoy as a satisfying, energizing snack.

Notes

  • Substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter for different flavor profiles.
  • For a nut-free alternative, use sunflower seed butter and omit the walnuts.
  • Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze the bites in a sealed container and thaw before eating.
