Ingredients

• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
• 0.25 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 drops liquid stevia (or preferred sweetener)
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the mixture is warm and easily stirrable.

Step 2

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture and stir until smooth.

Step 3

Mix in the unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped mixed nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Add the liquid stevia and sea salt. Stir the mixture until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more coconut oil or water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.

Step 8

Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
