Happy Sunday! I thought I’d take a different approach to this post and instead of boring you all with another one of my stories leading up to a recipe, I’d like to talk a little bit about each ingredient that goes into these Vanilla Protein “Pro-Nut” Energy Bites. Aka: little donut holes sent from heaven!!<\/p>\n

\"Vanilla<\/p>\n

It was a few years ago that “energy bites” started to take the internet, mainly Pinterest, by storm. When I first started looking up recipes to make some balls of my own, I noticed that most of the ingredients were pretty expensive (walnuts, pecans, and other common nuts that are included in most energy bites can really add up!) or the ingredients were not something I had on hand. I finally have put together a perfect energy bites recipe that utilizes the ingredients you have on hand, and won’t break the bank. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Ingredient 1: PlantFusion Vanilla Protein Powder<\/h3>\n

\"PlantFusion<\/p>\n

These days, it seems like most healthy baked goods call for protein powder. Why? It’s a fantastic substitute for flour in brownies, breakfast bars, and muffins that bind the other ingredients together while including a powerful protein punch. After a lot of research, I finally chose to make the investment in a container of PlantFusion Plant Based Protein powder. I love the vanilla flavor because it goes well in everything I use with it! Here’s a few other ideas you can use with your protein:<\/p>\n
