Power Bites
These power bites are super easy to make and store really well in the freezer. The no-cow bars are a new addition, and are only in here because I'm trying to go through about 6 boxes we have (got a little sick of them and then my bf forgot to cancel Amazon subscription haha). These are optional but could also be substituted.
Servings: 20
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 10 pitted dates
- optional: 2 No-Cow protein bars broken into chunks (if not using omit coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup lakanto maple syrup raw honey, or maple syrup
- 1 cup nut butter I used crunchy almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plus more if needed, full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup protein powder I used Orgain peanut butter
- 3 tbsp maca powder
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder plus about 1/2 cup more for rolling
- Optional: 1/2 cup Lily’s chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- Add everything (except extra cocoa powder and chocolate chips) to a food-processor and pulse until combined. Add more coconut milk by the tbsp if it won’t mix. You want it to be the consistency of play-dough so you can roll it into balls. Resort to mixing by hand if it’s being stubborn (once things are broken down enough to your liking.)
- Put remaining cocoa powder in a small bowl. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking pan (that will fit in your freezer for them to set)
- Roll dough into balls and then roll in cocoa powder.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the bites and freeze for 30 minutes to set.
- Store in container in fridge for 1 week, and any extra in freezer for up to 6 months.
