Dark Chocolate Chai Protein Bites

Get your protein fix this winter with my Dark Chocolate Chai Protein Bites!

Where are my chai lovers at?  I am a huge fan of chai spices.  I drink it in tea, put it in cookies and yes...you guessed it, put it in these simple, no-bake Dark Chocolate Chai Protein Bites.  They are delicious and super addicting, so watch yourself! They may disappear faster than you planned.

These little bites of protein have the perfect combination of chewy, chunky, chocolatey goodness.  The addition of warm, soothing chai spice makes them especially delicious this time of year.  Enjoy them with a hot cup of coffee in front of a fire, after a hard workout or as a quick pick-me-up when you're running out to do more Christmas shopping.

HOW DO I MAKE DARK CHOCOLATE CHAI PROTEIN BITES?

Start by blending 1 ⅓ cup of oats and ⅔ cup of cashews (you can use raw or roasted). Pulse until you have a crumbly texture. But, be sure not to over blend.  You will end up creating a cashew paste, instead of a flour like consistency.

In a large bowl, combine the oat/cashew mixture along with the following ingredients:

• 4 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoon natural maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoon chai spice - Try my Homemade Chai Mix
• 1 tablespoon chocolate protein powder
• ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

Stir thoroughly so all the ingredients are well combined. Next, you will form small balls and place in refrigerator or freezer to set.

Store them in an airtight container in your freezer or refrigerator for when the craving strikes.
