Pumpkin season may have come and gone but does the craving for all things pumpkin ever really disappear? Who says it has to be fall to enjoy pumpkin? After all it has so many benefits and we all wait for pumpkin spice season for like 11 months out of the year so I thought “Let’s enjoy the things we love WHENEVER we want them!” This snack is so easy that you’ll be wondering about all the other ways to make them (which I will share with you!) These Pumpkin Protein Energy Balls are a snack that’s nutritious, no-bake, packed with protein, and brimming with pumpkin flavour. Whether you’re looking for a post-workout snack, a meal prep-friendly option, or just a healthy treat, these energy bites have got you covered.
This is honestly the easiest recipe ever and I LOVE making vegan energy balls in a variety of flavors! Literally ALL you need to do is mix all ingredients in one bowl and then divide the batch based on which protein powders you feel like creating. Variety is a big amount of the fun which is why I typically split the batter in half and then add chocolate protein to one bowl and vanilla to the other. After that, you mix one more time and do the most fun part which is to get your hands a little messy and continue the process of scooping and rolling! After that let these bites set in the fridge and in no time, you’ve got a batch of yummy, protein-packed snacks!
My Pumpkin Protein Energy Bites are more than just a snack; they’re a smart, tasty way to fuel your body. Perfect for any time of day, these bites are a great balance of flavour and nutrition, and they’re sure to satisfy both your hunger and your taste buds. It’s so easy to reach for snacks that are not as healthy, not as nutritious and not homemade but that’s exactly why I am sharing this recipe. I truly believe that you can work towards eating more healthy in small ways by doing things like creating snacks like this and keeping them on hand. Share them with your family or keep them all to yourself; having a high protein snack on hand is always a good thing!
Feel free to swap out peanut butter for any nut, chickpea, or seed butter, especially if you have allergies. And while I adore OWYN protein for its clean ingredients and added greens, feel free to use your preferred protein powder.
So, let’s get mixing and rolling with these delightful Pumpkin Protein Energy Bites.
