No Bake Protein Bites Recipe Ingredients

1. 1 cup peanut butter (I used plain organic peanut butter with no salt added. Any nut butter will work though.)
2. 3/4 cup oats
3. 1 T hemp seeds
4. 1 T chia seeds
5. 1/2 dark chocolate bar (chopped into chocolate chip-sized pieces). I used Alter Eco Blackout Chocolate. In general, the higher the % of cacao is, the lower the sugar content will be.
6. 4 scoops of Pure Food Raw Cacao Protein Powder
7. 1 T honey (optional, depending on how sweet you like it)
8. 1 cup water (or plant milk)
9. 2 T shredded coconut (optional)

**Makes ~16 protein bites

How to Make the Protein Bites

1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and turn it on for 30-60 seconds.
2. Form the dough into balls (this recipe makes around 16 protein bites).
3. Sprinkle with coconut, if desired.
4. Refrigerate whatever protein bites you don’t eat right away. 😉
