No-Bake, Protein-Packed, Power Snack (WEM)
Recipes | March 20, 2016
*this recipe makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
2 scoops vanilla protein
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup dried fruit (I used cranberries/berries blend)
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, add the oats, protein powder and chia seeds. Mix together until combined well.
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract and agave then, using a big wooden spoon, mix together until it’s clumpy but consistent throughout.
- Add the dried fruit and almond milk, this time using your hands, mix together and start to form little palm sized balls (pack them together really tight – add more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if it doesn’t stick together).
- Put the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let set in the fridge for approx. 30 minutes before enjoying (keep in fridge until ready to enjoy).

I like this kind of recipe, had tried similar one with dark chocolate, was too yummy:) i think i’ll try this one without any kind of sugar, am very used to that. I just got a jug of peanut butter without salt or sugar, it tastes quite bland but i’m fine with it, actually quite like it, had it spreaded on my wheat biscuits for post w/o meal. quite enjoyed it. So i’ll try this recipe with dark chocolate, omit the sugar/agave ( don’t have that). I like the old oats texture and not cooking is a plus plus for me:)) Might use almond meal to replace oats for lighter version if this one a succeess:))

Hi! I use Syntha 6 powder in the Vanilla Ice Cream flavour. It’s fantastic. Mixes really well into oatmeal too 🙂

They last about a week in a refrigerator. You can also freeze them and keep them for months.
