  • 1 tbsp (9g) poppy seeds
  • ½ tbsp (7g) Truvia (zero-calorie sweetener)
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest (about one medium lemon)

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp (90mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about two medium lemons)
  • 6 tbsp (90mL) water

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the PlantFusion vanilla bean protein powder, rolled oats, poppy seeds, Truvia, and freshly grated lemon zest until evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and water, stirring thoroughly until the mixture becomes a cohesive blend.
  3. Shape Energy Bites: Using your hands, form the mixture into 28 small, evenly sized spheres to ensure consistent portions.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free version of this recipe.
  • PlantFusion protein powder adds a creamy vanilla flavor and boosts protein content; you can substitute with a comparable vanilla plant-based protein powder if unavailable.
  • These energy bites are best stored refrigerated and consumed within 5 days for freshness.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of Truvia based on your taste preference.
