🌿 Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats – Provides complex carbs and lasting energy
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder – Increases protein content with a hint of sweetness
- ½ cup natural almond butter – Binds ingredients and adds heart-healthy fats
- ⅓ cup raw honey – Naturally sweetens and helps the mixture stick together
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest – Adds brightness and elevates the flavor
- ⅓ cup dried blueberries – Rich in antioxidants and natural fruitiness
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds – Deliver fiber, omega-3s, and texture
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut – Adds subtle crunch and depth
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon – Rounds out the flavor with warmth
🥣 Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine oats, protein powder, lemon zest, dried blueberries, chia seeds, cinnamon, and shredded coconut. Stir well until everything is evenly distributed. - Incorporate Wet Ingredients
Add almond butter and honey to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water. If it’s too wet, add a few more oats or a spoonful of protein powder. - Shape the Bites
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using clean hands. Apply light pressure to compact the ingredients and form smooth, round bites. If the mixture sticks, chill for 10–15 minutes or lightly dampen your hands. - Chill to Set
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This helps them firm up and improves texture. - Store and Enjoy
Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Perfect for grab-and-go snacking anytime.
⚡ Nutrition Tip:
Each bite delivers a balanced combo of protein, healthy fats, and fiber — ideal for curbing cravings and maintaining energy throughout the day.
