Mocha Cafe Latte Protein Bites

These are my super simple snacks for on-the-go. If you love almonds, coffee and chocolate….this one is for you. Truly made of raw goodness consisting of plant-based protein, healthy fats and good for you fiber. I must say they are quite addictive, but so guilt free.

 

Almonds are packed with mono-saturated fats like olive oil, the healthy kind. Of course, everything in moderation. This simple super food is known to reduce the risk of heart disease and stabilize blood sugar levels in the body. Excellent for diabetics. I incorporated a hint of cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, coconut milk and the new Cafe Latte Shakeology to the blend. Oh my, what a delicious combination! So yummy and so easily to create in your own home with no oven requirement.

I hope you try and enjoy this super food snack.

 

 

Yield: 20

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almond butter

1 tbsp maple syrup, pure

2 tbsp coconut milk

1 scoop Cafe Latte shakeology

1 tbsp cocoa powder

dash, sea salt

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a small bowl, gather all the dry ingredients together; set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and mix well. Then, add the dry to the wet mixture and combine well.

Once mixed well, place in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to set.

Remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Scoop a small amount with a spoon ( about 1/4 to 1/2 inch), with slightly wet hands to reduce stickiness, and roll in between the palms of your hands. You may place them on a cookie sheet, or in an airtight glass container. Keep in the refrigerator to keep the shape. You may freeze them and will last up to 3 months too.

And voila! A healthy treat for you and your whole family.
