If you’ve been around here for a minute, you know I’m all about simple, nourishing recipes that actually work for busy mom life. These no-bake protein energy bites are one of those staples I make every single week—because they’re quick, delicious, and full of ingredients I feel good about.
They're perfect for:
After-school snacks
Post-workout fuel
Mid-morning pick-me-ups
Basically anytime you need something fast, satisfying, and blood-sugar-friendly
Even better? The kids love them just as much as I do.
No-Bake Protein Energy Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
½ cup honey or maple syrup
2 scoops protein powder (I love to use vanilla)
2 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
Optional: mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or hemp seeds
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, stir together oats, nut butter, honey, protein powder, vanilla, and salt.
Mix until everything is fully combined and the mixture holds together well.
Stir in any add-ins like chocolate chips or coconut.
Chill in the fridge for at least 20–30 minutes to firm up.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).
Tips + Swaps:
Use sunflower seed butter to make them nut-free.
Swap oats for quick oats if you prefer a softer texture.
For extra energy, add 1–2 Tbsp of collagen powder or hemp hearts.
Why I love these:
I can make them in one bowl, no baking required, and they keep everyone in my house (including me!) fueled through the day. They’re one of those small weekly habits that make a big difference—and a simple way I support our wellness in the midst of everyday chaos.
