I am really having fun making my own Power Bites. I know exactly what’s in them and it’s fun to play. Today’s experiment may sound a little crazy. I looked to see what I had on hand and just went for it!
- 1 can organic pumpkin
- 1 can garbanzo beans (yes garbanzo beans, great source of fiber….I had a choice between these, black beans, or peanut butter. I’ve already done peanut butter, black beans are next on the list! ;))
- 1/4 cup organic honey (more if you like it sweeter)
- a couple handfuls of walnuts (one for the blender, and one chopped)
- 3 1/2 cup rolled oats
- handful of dark chocolate chips (that’s all I had)
- 2 tablespoons each of chia seeds, hemp seeds, and ground flax
- 4 drops cinnamon essential oil
- 2 drops nutmeg essential essential oil
- 1 packet of vanilla Plant Protein
- 1 T coconut oil
- approximately 1/4 tsp. of sea salt
Combine coconut oil, garbanzo beans, pumpkin, honey, 1 handful of the walnuts, and salt in Vitamix (it worked better than my NutriBullet). Cream together then scrap into a bowl… Then add the rest of the ingredients. Roll into balls (whatever size you like) and freeze for approx. 1 hour. Put some in an airtight container in the fridge and store the rest in the freezer. This made about 3 1/2 dozen balls!
Make your own, have fun…play with it.
