Ingredients for Protein Packed Energy Bites
- Oats. I prefer for this recipe rolled oats
- Coconut. Shredded and unsweetened
- Chocolate Chips. I used semi-dark, but feel free to use whichever your prefer
- Hemp seeds. Help with the addition of protein and goodness!
- Peanut butter. I used smooth and unsweetened
- Protein Powder. Look for vanilla or unflavored; haven’t tried with chocolate flavored but it could work as well! (color might change a bit though)
- Maple syrup. Look for pure maple syrup so your sugary content doesn’t increase that much
- Vanilla extract. To enhance flavor and aroma
- Salt. To help enhance flavors
