Consider this my inspired take on a nutty protein ball. My favorite part? They’re grain-free, low sugar (sweetened with just a few dates), and incredibly simple to make. Shall we? These 5-ingredient bites are made entirely in the food processor and require ingredients you likely have on hand right now! Nut butter is mixed with chia seeds, hemp seeds, a bit of protein powder (recommendations below), and a couple dates to keep these low sugar and naturally sweetened. Chia seeds offer plenty of calcium, fiber, and magnesium. Hemp seeds are high in protein, essential amino acids, and omega-3 fatty acids. And dates are naturally high in fiber, potassium, and vitamin B6. All of these good-for-you ingredients combine to make one seriously nutritious snack. Once mixed, it’s time to roll! You can roll these and enjoy immediately, but I suggest chilling them in the freezer then topping with melted dark chocolate, hemp seeds, or shredded coconut. So delicious! We hope you LOVE these bites!

I’ve been enjoying one after my morning workout, but they’d make a delicious pre-workout snack as well. They’re also ideal for travel, road trips, kid lunches, and more! Into snack bites?
