No-Bake Cookies and Cream Protein Bites

The gap between lunch and dinner is where most good intentions die. These live in the freezer and take one hand to eat.

Ingredients (makes about 20)

  • 3 scoops Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, Cookies n Cream
  • 2 scoops Protein Drink Mix
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural almond butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 3–4 tablespoons milk, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut for rolling

Method

  1. Combine the oats and both powders in a bowl and stir them dry. Powder that meets wet ingredients unevenly will clump and never recover.
  2. Warm the almond butter and honey together for 20 seconds so they pour rather than fight you.
  3. Pour the wet into the dry and mix. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the mix holds together when squeezed — think firm dough, not batter.
  4. Chill the bowl for 20 minutes. This is not optional; warm mix will not roll.
  5. Roll into walnut-sized balls, then roll through the coconut.
  6. Freeze on a tray for an hour, then transfer to a container.

Storage

Three weeks in the freezer, one week in the fridge. Eat them straight from frozen — they soften in about two minutes and the firmer texture makes you slow down.

A word on portions

These are genuinely nice, which is the problem. Two is a snack. Six is a meal you did not plan for. Portion them into small bags if that is likely to be an issue.
