Power Bites
These power bites are super easy to make and store really well in the freezer. The no-cow bars are a new addition, and are only in here because I'm trying to go through about 6 boxes we have (got a little sick of them and then my bf forgot to cancel Amazon subscription haha). These are optional but could also be substituted.

- 10 pitted dates
- optional: 2 No-Cow protein bars broken into chunks (if not using omit coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup lakanto maple syrup raw honey, or maple syrup
- 1 cup nut butter I used crunchy almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plus more if needed, full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup protein powder I used Orgain peanut butter
- 3 tbsp maca powder
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder plus about 1/2 cup more for rolling
- Optional: 1/2 cup Lily’s chocolate chips melted
Add everything (except extra cocoa powder and chocolate chips) to a food-processor and pulse until combined. Add more coconut milk by the tbsp if it won’t mix. You want it to be the consistency of play-dough so you can roll it into balls. Resort to mixing by hand if it’s being stubborn (once things are broken down enough to your liking.)
Put remaining cocoa powder in a small bowl. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking pan (that will fit in your freezer for them to set)
Roll dough into balls and then roll in cocoa powder.
Drizzle melted chocolate over the bites and freeze for 30 minutes to set.
Store in container in fridge for 1 week, and any extra in freezer for up to 6 months.
