Nut-Free Energy Bites with Protein Powder (No-Bake)
These no-bake nut-free energy bites are packed with protein, omega-3’s, fibre, and make great snacks between meals or after a workout! They can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week, or longer in the freezer for a convenient, ready-to-go snack. The tahini butter (ground up sesame seed paste) is also a surprisingly high source of dairy-free calcium!
