With just a few ingredients these energy bites come together quickly. They are a great source of protein and fat and are sure to keep you going when you need a little boost.
Ingredients
- 1/2 C raw unsalted sunflower seeds
- 2 T maple syrup
- 1/2 C sesame seed butter
- 2 T water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 T coconut flour
- 2 scoops Vital Proteins collagen peptides
- 1/4 C chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Combine all of your ingredients except the chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl and mix well. When the ingredients have come together in a smooth mixture fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Roll into tablespoon sized balls, and place on a sheet of parchment paper. You should get between 8-10 energy balls. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes before eating.
-
These should last for 5-7 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
- If your balls seem too dry add a bit more water, 1 teaspoon at a time. If they seem too moist, add in more coconut flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- You can use whatever protein you have on hand. I like that the Vital Proteins collagen peptides is unflavored, but a vanilla protein would work fine too
