S'mores Protein Bites
These no-bake s'mores protein bites are the after-school snack that actually delivers. Their nutty, chocolatey, freezer-friendly, and ready in 10 minutes.
Servings: 18
Equipment
- food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates pitted
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 4 sheets graham crackers
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 5 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 scoops collagen or protein powder
Instructions
- Add dates, cashews, and graham crackers to a food processor or blender and pulse or blend until fine crumbs form, about 20 pulses.
- To the nut mixture, add salt, coconut oil, collagen powder, and cinnamon. Pulse several more times until completely combined and “dough” begins to stick together.
- Add marshmallows and chocolate chips to the processor and pulse a few times to incorporate chips and marshmallows. If using a blender, add mixture from the blender to a large bowl. Using your clean hands, mix in the marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly incorporated.
- Form into balls and place on a parchment lined sheet pan. I use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out my dough, roll in my hands, and create uniform balls.
- Chill in the fridge for 1 - 2 hours until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
For a gluten free option, I’ve substituted Schar GF graham crackers for the regular graham crackers and doubled the cinnamon.
