Heading into the weekend and there will be a lot of sweet treats to be had around the holiday parties. Well, now you can have your eggnog and eat it too!
This is a creamy protein bite that has all the festive flavors you find in eggnog. I use my favorite vegan vanilla protein powder with chia seeds for an added boost (I need all I can get this time of year).
Ingredients:
-
1 3/4 cup Almond Flour
-
1/4 cup Coconut Flour
-
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
-
2 tbsp Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener
-
2 tbsp Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener
-
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
-
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
-
1/4 tsp Cloves
-
1/8 tsp Rum Extract or Flavoring
-
1/4 cup Nut Butter (I used Cashew)
-
1/4 cup Sugar-Free Maple Flavored Syrup (or real maple syrup)
-
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Instructions:
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer, add all dry ingredients and mix well (be sure all the clumps are out of the almond flour).
-
Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined and smooth. If the batter is too thin, add additional coconut flour.
-
Scoop out about 1 tbsp of batter at a time and roll into bite-size balls. You can roll the balls in additional sweetener or coconut sugar if desired.
-
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm before serving.
You can find the protein powder I use and recommend HERE – there are both vegan and whey options.. Both are of the highest quality, gluten free, soy free, free of artificial flavors and sweeteners. They do have added chia seeds for a nutrient boost and digestive enzymes to help your body better digest and use the protein you are giving it.
