Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Bites (Think: Vegan RX Bar)

One of the things we had to reassess when we switched to plant-based eating at the beginning of the month was our protein powder. My previous favorites have all been whey-based, which is obviously out of the question. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing one, as I’ve had some narsty plant-based proteins in my day – watery and unpleasant tasting. After reading many reviews, I went with Kos Plant-Based Protein – a blend of Pea, Flax Seed, Quinoa, Pumpkin Seed and Chia Seed Proteins, in vanilla and chocolate – and so far we’ve been enjoying it.

These RX bar clones are one of my favorite make-at-home protein bites, but in addition to having to rethink the protein powder, the original recipe contains egg white powder. Luckily, the egg white can be replaced easily by subbing in additional protein powder. After making a vegan version of the chocolate RX clone I love, I had an urge to make a lemon poppy seed version (I’ve told you before about where my love for lemon poppy originated!) and I absolutely love the result! They’re sweet, tangy and the perfect size to pop in your mouth before my morning run or spin class.

 

Steps

Done

Combine dates and cashews in a food processor and blend well. Add protein powder and pulse.

Add lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, until the "dough" comes together. You'll likely use 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice.

Pulse in lemon zest and poppy seeds.

4
Done

Use your hands to form into balls. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
