Healthy snacks loaded with protein
Protein is an important part of a healthy diet because it provides a long lasting energy source for your body. The energy protein provides is long lasting because protein takes longer than carbohydrates to break down in the body. The result is more energy and a feeling of being fuller longer.
These No Bake Energy Bites are loaded with protein. Nut butter and protein powder combine for a healthy snack that your family will love. I protein powder I used is the Sweet Vanilla Bean powder from Orgain. I was first introduced to Orgain and their products in California last year. I’ve been using their protein powder ever since because it has a smooth texture and is really good in shakes as well as these snack bites.
Many protein powders available today are made with soy. I, personally, try to avoid soy products, so I love that Orgain protein powders are made with organic, plant-based proteins; Organic brown rice, hemp, chia, and pea.

This is such a fantastic recipe! I usually don’t comment on recipes I make, however this one is stellar.
I’m going on a canoe trip with my grade 11 outdoor education class tomorrow, and I was looking for a snack that was nutritious and high in protein, since my group has to make snacks on one particular day, and these are exactly something I was looking for!
I’m making them right now, and I tried one and they’re insanely delicious! I will definitely be making these again for just regular snacks!
Thanks so much for the recipe!

These look amazing…and so many options…I would like to add finely chopped dates and roll in coconut…maybe use a bit of stevia and less honey, too. You could also press in a pan, refrigerate and cut into squares if you do not have the time to roll into balls…love this recipe!
