Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 scoops (90g) PlantFusion vanilla bean protein powder
  • ½ cup (50g) old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free, if necessary)
  • 1 tbsp (9g) poppy seeds
  • ½ tbsp (7g) Truvia
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest (about one medium lemon)

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp (90mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about two medium lemons)
  • 6 tbsp (90mL) water

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and freshly grated lemon zest until evenly distributed.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and water, then stir the mixture well to ensure all components are fully incorporated and a sticky dough forms.
  3. Shape bites: Using your hands, form the mixture into 28 small, uniform spheres to serve as individual energy bites.
  4. Store and chill: Place all formed energy bites into a Tupperware container, seal it tightly, and refrigerate until firm and ready to enjoy. They can be kept chilled for a convenient, healthy snack option.

Notes

  • Use PlantFusion vanilla bean protein powder for the intended flavor, but other protein powders can be substituted if desired.
  • Ensure the rolled oats are gluten-free if dietary restrictions require it.
  • Truvia is a natural zero-calorie sweetener, which balances the tartness of the lemon juice nicely.
  • The bites are no-bake and require refrigerating only for setting.
