It’s a New Year! Wowza — where did 2016 go? With a new year comes resolutions to exercise more and eat better. Am I right? I do it too. So in honor of all those amazing resolutions, I thought I’d share a very simple no-bake vegan energy bites recipe.
Life is busy for us. I need simple recipes. And no-bake? Well that not only helps the environment, but saves me time! Big win!
Energy Bites Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (this is the brand I use for recipes and smoothies!)
- 2 T Protein Powder
- 2 tsp. water
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup cashews
Energy Bites Instructions
In your food processor, pulse 1/2 of the cashews until medium ground and set aside. Next, add peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, chocolate chips and the remaining 1/2 of the cashews. Pulse together until well blended. In a medium bowl, add oats and mixture from food processor until ready to form into balls. Add water as needed. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to eat. These also freeze well!

Yes! These look absolutely delicious. I love the peanut butter and chocolate combo. I happen to have all the ingredients already too. I’ll have to test these out!
I’ve heard great things about energy bites, and I could even share these with my vegan friends! That’s a huge feat! Thanks!
These look yummy! And the recipe doesn’t look too hard, either. I’m totally trying to make more homemade food in the new year.
Am I missing something? The recipe does not list protein powder but the instructions do. How much protein powder is required?
Ha! Yes, it’s missing, Colleen. Updating it next. It’s 2 Tablespoons. Sorry about that.
