Ingredients
The following ingredients have 1 Servings
- 1/4 cup collagen powder, or protein powder of choice for vegan/vegetarian
- 1 1/2 cups almonds, (raw, not toasted)
- 1/4 cup ground flax meal
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 6 Medjool dates, 4 ounces, pitted
- 1/4 Teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 Teaspoon almond extract
- 2-4 Tablespoons water
- 1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips, see notes
Instruction
- Place the collagen powder/protein powder, almonds, flax meal, coconut, dates, and sea salt into a 12-cup food processor and process until the desired texture is reached. (Refer to the photos in the post for texture.)
- Add the almond butter, and vanilla and almond extracts. Process until the mixture is starting to barely clump together.
- Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture is soft like cookie dough.
- Then remove the mixture from the processor into a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate chips, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more if desired. Mix together with a spoon or with your hands.
- Portion out the energy bites with a spoon or cookie scoop. I used a #40 scoop which makes 1 ounce energy bites. Place them all on a cookie sheet, then roll them with your hands to smooth them out if desired. Then place as many as you’d like in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freeze the remaining energy bites on the cookie sheet, then remove them and store in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
