If you’re looking for a snack that tastes like dessert but fuels your body like a superfood, you’ve found it. These Glow-Up Protein Bites are my secret weapon for those afternoon sweet cravings.
They are gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with plant-based protein and fiber. The best part? You probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry!
Why you’ll love them:
Chickpeas: Don't worry, you can't taste them! They provide a creamy texture and a great protein boost.
Medjool Dates: Nature’s candy. They give that perfect caramel-like sweetness.
Peanut Butter: For healthy fats and that rich, nutty flavor.
Ingredients:
1 can (400g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
6-8 Medjool dates, pitted
2 tbsp Peanut or Almond protein butter
1 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)
50g Dark chocolate (melted for coating)
Desiccated coconut for sprinkling
Instructions:
Blend: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, dates, nut butter, and honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and dough-like.
Roll: Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Coat: Melt the dark chocolate. Dip each ball into the chocolate until fully coated.
Finish: Sprinkle with coconut flour (desiccated coconut) while the chocolate is still wet.
Chill: Place the bites in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
Enjoy your healthy glow-up treat!
