Convenience makes choosing healthy options easier and more likely to happen. This is why I love making recipes that help bring me closer to my goals. Today, I’ll be sharing my best recipe for cranberry walnut protein bites. In short, these little bites are the perfect high-protein food.
Easy No-Bake Energy Bites
I make my no-bake energy bites with dried Cranberries (my favorite dried fruit), walnuts, vanilla extract, and a bit of pumpkin pie spice. These little balls take about 10 minutes to prep as well as a half hour for chilling. Also, this recipe makes 12 bites and can be multiplied as necessary.
Of course, you’re free to use whatever substitutions you like in these. This recipe can be made however you want, even if you’re not a fan of cranberries or walnuts.
Warning: This recipe is not suitable for people with peanut allergies!
Ingredients for Cranberry Walnut Protein Bites:
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup smooth peanut butter (or your choice of nut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions for Cranberry Walnut Protein Bites:
- This recipe is very simple. Firstly, go ahead and throw all the ingredients in a bowl together. In this case, there’s no order necessary.
- Stir the ingredients until they’re evenly mixed.
- Then, place the bowl with the mixture in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, use a spoon to scoop out the mixture into balls.
- Lastly, enjoy! Keep the cranberry walnut protein bites in a container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
A Great, High-Protein Food
Without a doubt, these no-bake energy bites are a great way to add extra protein or energy to your day. They keep well outside of the fridge, so you can pack them wherever you go. Keep a couple handy just in case you need an afternoon pick-me-up.
That’s it! This is the simplest recipe I make, but it’s still super delicious and healthy. If you’re lacking certain ingredients, try swapping the cranberries or walnuts for raisins, pecans, or chocolate chips. Not to mention, peanut butter can be replaced with almond or cashew butter if desired.
I hope you all enjoy the recipe and didn’t spill honey on the floor accidentally as I did. If you’re looking for another high-protein food to snack on, check out my 3 recipes for crustless quiches!
