Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 1 cup PlantFusion Vanilla Bean Protein Powder This primary ingredient provides a hearty protein boost; substitute with caution to maintain consistency.
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Adds a chewy texture; opt for gluten-free oats to make these Lemon Poppy Seed Energy Bites suitable for gluten-free diets.
  • 2 tablespoons Poppy Seeds They contribute that classic flavor; if you're not a fan, feel free to omit them without compromising the overall taste.
  • 1/4 cup Truvia A great zero-calorie sweetener; feel free to swap with another granulated sweetener.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest This adds incredible brightness; using zest from an extra lemon makes these bites even more zesty and flavorful.
  • 1/3 cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice Offers moisture and tang; precise measurement is key for the perfect balance in flavors.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Water Vital for binding the mix together; tweak the amount based on your protein powder's absorbency.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of PlantFusion Vanilla Bean Protein Powder, 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds, 1/4 cup of Truvia, and the zest of 1 lemon. Use a whisk to blend these dry ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed and crumbly.
  2. Pour in 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1-2 tablespoons of water into the bowl with your dry ingredients. Stir the mixture with a spatula, incorporating all ingredients until you have a moist and cohesive dough.
  3. Use your hands to scoop out small amounts and roll them into bite-sized spheres, about 1 inch in diameter. Aim to create around 28 bites.
  4. Place the formed energy bites onto a lined baking sheet or plate, arranging them in a single layer. Transfer the bites to the refrigerator and let them chill for about 30 minutes.
  5. Store any remaining bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
