On-the-go Protein Bites That Pack a Punch!

Posted by Amina AlTai on

Whether you're running to the gym, or just grabbing a quick breakfast before a long day at the office, everyone needs a healthy start to their day.  Breakfast can be tough because there isn't always time for it, but it is undoubtedly, the most important meal of the day. 

One way to get around the "I don't have time" excuse, is to make these delicious little protein bites on a Sunday evening and have them for the week ahead.  They're super quick, nutritionally dense and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

2 Scoops of Vega Protein Powder, I love their french vanilla flavor

1 cup of organic cashew butter

1 cup of coconut flakes (unsweetened)

1/2 cup of chopped pecans

1/3 cup agave (can also use honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla

A splash of almond milk

1 dash of cinnamon

Mix all of your ingredients in a mixing bowl.  Use a spoon and place a bite-sized amount into the palm of your hand. Roll into a ball and place on a cookie sheet.  Pop them in the fridge until they are firm and then enjoy whenever you need a snack.
