These "protein-rich bites" are a delicious snack option for those who don't want to wait until Christmas for the popular vanilla crescent to be in everyone's mouths again. With velvety real vanilla, this flavor has emerged as one of the most popular varieties in our Vegan Protein range, suitable for baking and preparing snacks throughout the year. Packed with protein as bite-sized treats, these bites with vanilla crescent protein powder (Christmas cookie) are a satisfying and convenient option for those looking to increase their protein intake.

Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the building and repair of tissues in the body. It is particularly important for maintaining a healthy immune system and for the growth and development of muscles. Many people turn to protein powders either as a shake or in the form of healthy baking recipes to boost their protein intake, but there are so many other ways to use protein powder - these protein bites are just one tasty example.

What's especially convenient about protein bites is that they are small and easy to take anywhere. This makes them a great option for a quick snack before or after a workout or as a satisfying treat during the day.

Preparation

This recipe involves raw dough that doesn't need to be baked - hence, the preparation is very quick, and most of it is indeed done by the blender:

Start by pitting the dates and placing them in a blender along with the remaining ingredients (excluding the icing sugar). Mix everything thoroughly in the machine until a firm, homogenous mass is formed. Next, shape the dough into approximately equal-sized balls.

Your Raw Vegan Protein Bites are ready to be enjoyed - if desired, you can sprinkle them with a little icing sugar or leave them as they are. In both cases, they taste heavenly delicious! 😋
