Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Medjool dates
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by placing the raw almonds into a food processor. Pulse them until they are finely ground but be careful not to turn them into almond butter.
Step 2
Add the Medjool dates to the food processor. Make sure the dates are pitted before processing.
Step 3
Add the cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture until well combined. It should form a sticky dough that holds together when pressed. If the mixture is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Once combined, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball.
Step 6
Place the formed bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Continue with the rest of the mixture until all the dough is used up.
Step 8
Refrigerate the almond chocolate protein bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 9
Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
