These easy homemade No Bake Protein Bites are loaded with healthy ingredients such as buckwheat groats, almonds and dates, perfect for a post workout snack.
Last week I hosted a cooking class at Beaming Juice and Superfood Bar in Del Mar.
This place is all about raw, vegan and gluten free healthy eating, so I created a couple of new and delicious recipes to match their mission.
First I prepared these scrumptious No Bake Protein Bites, followed by a Banana Date Protein Shake and a Superfood Pumpkin Smoothie.
No Bake Protein Bites Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates (chopped)
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups sprouted buckwheat groats
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup protein powder
No Bake Protein Bites Instructions
Place all ingredients in a food processor.
Blend until ingredients are combined and a sticky ball forms.
Press onto wax paper and roll into 1/2 inch thick sheet.
Use a one inch diameter pastry cutter to cut into bite size pieces.
Chill in the fridge for up to one week. Great for breakfast, a mid-day snack or a post workout protein kick!
The sprouted buckwheat grouts keep this recipe gluten free and provide eight essential amino acids, as well as high proportions of manganese and magnesium.
The dates add a natural sweetness and the almonds give a boost of riboflavin and L-carnitine, nutrients that boost brain activity and may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
