Dry Ingredients
- 3 scoops (90g) PlantFusion vanilla bean protein powder
- ½ cup (50g) old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 tbsp (9g) poppy seeds
- ½ tbsp (7g) Truvia (stevia-based sweetener)
- 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest (about one medium lemon)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp (90mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about two medium lemons)
- 6 tbsp (90mL) water
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the PlantFusion vanilla bean protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and freshly grated lemon zest. Stir the ingredients until evenly distributed.
- Add wet ingredients and combine: Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and water. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Shape energy bites: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 28 small spheres, approximately 1 inch in diameter each, ensuring they hold together firmly.
- Store: Place the formed energy bites into an airtight Tupperware container. Seal and refrigerate for up to 6 days to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Protein Powder Specifics: This recipe was developed specifically for PlantFusion vanilla bean protein powder, which absorbs moisture perfectly for this snack. If substituting with another plant-based protein powder, adjust the liquid or powder quantity as needed to achieve the right dough consistency.
- Storage: Keep energy bites refrigerated in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Sweetener Substitution: If desired, Truvia can be replaced with another low-calorie sweetener or natural sweetener to taste, but adjust quantities accordingly.
