Coffee break but make it bite-sized!
Who says your coffee break has to come in a cup? These Espresso Energy Bites turn that familiar pick-me-up into a rich, chocolatey bite you can take anywhere. At the heart of the recipe is Warrior Blend Performance – Coffee + Caffeine, delivering plant-based protein alongside a caffeine boost that gives you an extra kick. Almonds, oats, cacao, and espresso round things out for a satisfying and nourishing snack made for mornings on the move, pre-workout fuel, or whenever your day calls for a little extra get-up-and-go.
Ingredients
-
1 cup almonds
-
1/2 cup oats
-
2 scoops Warrior Blend Performance - Coffee + Caffeine
-
2 tbsp Sunwarrior Cacao Powder
-
1-2 tsp espresso powder
-
3-4 tbsp agave syrup
-
1 tbsp coconut oil
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Add the almonds and oats to a food processor. Pulse until they are finely ground and have a coarse, flour-like texture. Avoid processing for too long, as the almonds can begin to release their oils and turn into almond butter.
-
Add the Warrior Blend Performance – Coffee + Caffeine, cacao powder, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt. Pulse a few times until everything is evenly combined.
-
Pour in the agave syrup and melted coconut oil. Process until the mixture begins to clump together and pulls away slightly from the sides of the food processor.
-
Take a small amount of the mixture and squeeze it between your fingers. It should hold together easily without crumbling. If it feels too dry, add a little more agave syrup or water, 1 teaspoon at a time, processing briefly after each addition. If it becomes too sticky, add a small spoonful of oats.
-
Scoop out roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture per ball and roll firmly between your palms until smooth and compact. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
-
Arrange the energy balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. This allows the coconut oil to firm up and helps the balls hold their shape.
-
Serve and enjoy.
