Yummy Maca Protein Bites With Collagen - recipe thanks to Mandy LeBlanc
My friend and colleague Mandy LeBlanc (www.mandyleblanc.com) provided these tasty snacks for us at the Spring Equinox Feminine-Power Inspired Wellness Retreat and they were too yummy to not pass the recipe on!
Ingredients:
1.5 cups cashew butter (I like almond-hazelnut butter but use your favourite nut or seed butter!)
2 Tbsp raw honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp maca powder (optional, but this adaptogenic herb is great for energy, libido and adrenal/hormone support)
1/4 cup collagen (or you could use a vanilla protein powder)
1/4 cup organic dark chocolate chips ( such as Lily’s stevia sweetened chocolate chips)
1 Tbsp coconut oil
How to make the bites:
Mix nut butter, honey, vanilla and maca powder together in a bowl.
Add collagen and mix well. You may need to add more collagen if the mix is runny (this will depend on the type of nut butter you use - some are runnier than others). You’ve got the right consistency if you have a dough that’s easy to roll into balls.
Roll into small bit size balls and place on a parchment lined plate. Place in freezer.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil over low heat.
Remove balls from freezer and roll in chocolate coating.
Place back on parchment sheet lined tray.
Refrigerate or freeze until hardened.
Store in refrigerator as chocolate will melt at room temperature.
Enjoy! 😊
