These no-bake power bites are a delightful, energizing treat that are great for satiating a candy craving, or for fueling your workout. I created them when I was thinking of what to do with the excess No-Cow bars I have lying around because my boyfriend has a subscription on Amazon. We got sick of them and he forgot to cancel, so now we have them lying around. They have a chewy, cookie-dough like texture, are plant-based, 1g of sugar, and 21g protein. That’s hard to find in a protein bar, y’all. But, like I said, we overdid it so now we have too many.
I’m thrilled with how these turned out and will definitely make them again. They’re super easy to modify so make them your own!
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes (with 30 minutes of setting)
Yields: 8-12 bites
Ingredients
3 No-Cow protein bars (I like peanut butter cacao chip, can also sub any chewy vegan protein bar / cookie)
1/4 cup nut butter (I used peanut)
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp lakanto mapke syrup, raw honey, or pure maple syrup
6 drops monk fruit or stevia liquid
2 tbsp full fat coconut milk or other non-dairy milk
2 scoops vegan protein powder (I used @orgain peanut butter 😂, see a pattern?)
2 scoops collagen
3 tbsp maca powder
For the chocolate glaze:
1.5 cups Lily’s chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions:
- Melt the glaze ingredients in a glass bowl over a saucepan on a low simmer (or microwave)
- Chop the no cow bars into small pieces.
- Warm the peanut butter and coconut oil enough to mix.
- Add the remaining ingredients until a thick dough-like texture is formed.
- Form 8-12 small balls with the dough and then dip in the melted chocolate. Drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes and then store in a container in fridge or freezer.
