Ingredients

Base

• ½ cup chopped walnuts

• ¼ cup chopped pistachios

• 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder

• 1 tbsp almond flour

• 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

Optional Glaze

Instructions

1. Toast the Nuts: In a dry skillet, lightly toast the walnuts and pistachios over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Let cool.

2. Mix the Dry Base: In a mixing bowl, combine protein powder, almond flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in almond butter, honey, almond milk, and vanilla. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.

4. Fold in Nuts: Add cooled nuts and stir until everything is evenly combined.

5. Shape the Bites: Form the mixture into 6 squares or roll into bite-sized balls. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set.
