Choco-PB Protein Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup or 3 scoops Inwell Complete Cleanse protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or cocoa nibs

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup flaxseeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

2-3 tablespoons water (if needed)

Instructions:

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, mini chocolate chips (or cocoa nibs), chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.

Pro Tip: If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but not too dry.

Form Bites: Using a spoon or mini ice cream scoop and your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
