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
- 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.
- 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.
- Shape bites: Using your hands, form the mixture into 28 small, uniform spheres to serve as individual energy bites.
- 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.
