Ingredients
2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours and drained
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut or almond)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine soaked cashews, shredded coconut, maple syrup, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse until well blended.
Stir in the nut butter by hand or with a spatula until the mixture is thick and sticky enough to hold shape.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll the mixture into 24 bite-sized balls.
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the freezer for 1 hour to set.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a chocolate variation, fold in 1/4 cup cocoa powder into the mixture.
Soaking the cashews ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
These bites are best made ahead and chilled for optimal firmness.
