These protein bites come together quickly and are great to make ahead of time for a snack or to have before a workout.
This recipe is nut free and can easily be made vegan by substituting dairy free chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or just omitting the chocolate chips altogether.
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed pitted dates
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Directions
1. Add dates into a food processor and process until it becomes a paste.
2. Add in the hemp seeds, chia seeds, cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Process until combined. Pulse in the chocolate chips. If the dough isn’t sticky enough to shape into balls, add a little water and process until it comes together.
3. Shape dough into small balls and put in the fridge for 30 minutes or until firm. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
