Fitness is very important to me. My exercise habits have been instilled by mother since I was a teen. Thanks to her, I love to move my body and I think exercise is so much fun! I am passionate about fitness and enjoy exercising all year long. I take no breaks (except for Sundays) because it is my therapy.
During the summer, I love to take my workout outdoors. There is an amazing trail in Orange County, CA that takes your straight to San Clemente Beach and Pier. The view is spectacular and the energy is awesome. The trail is perfect for a good run and I feel so energized and happy when I am done. On days, I don’t feel like running, I enjoy a light jog or a walk. Either way, it is important to move your body!
Organic Orgain Plant Based Protein Powders help me make the most of my summer! It fuels me from the inside out and it also tastes great! It is also an important ingredient in my famous protein energy bites that my husband and children also love!
Let me tell you more about Orgain. It was founded by a cancer survivor (and this hits home for me as I used to work for The American Cancer Society) who discovered his path back to health by nourishing himself with homemade organic smoothies. Orgain is a company committed to providing clean, whole and delicious nutrition to fuel healthy, vibrant lives.
Their bar for quality is obsessively high! No matter what you health goals are…health maintenance, lose or gain weight, or just fuel for your busy day, Orgain has something for everyone — and for kids too!
Picky about your protein? I am too. I have tried a lot of protein powders in my day and Orgain leaves other powders in the dust. Their smooth consistency and delicious flavors are addictive. Say goodbye to gritty powders, you will not get that with Orgain. Loving that it has 21 grams of organic, plant-based protein.
It is awesome to know that with that incredible flavor and smooth texture your daily health is supported. Gluten free, soy free, and non-GMO. I have my pantry stocked with Orgain’s two flavors at all times: Creamy Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla Bean. Orgain Plant Based Protein Powders are completely plant based and delicious! I know I already said that, but it is worth repeating again!
Now, for the fun part…recipe sharing! You guys have got to try my Protein Power Bites using Orgain Organic Plant Based Powder – Vanilla bean. It is a delicious treat to fuel you up after a great workout. It is portable and requires no baking. Simple to make and only takes 10 minutes of your time! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.

Recipe Notes
This recipe can make anywhere from 20 to 24 energy bites. My batch usually makes around 20 because I prefer my bites to be large. I use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and it also helps to shape the perfect ball.

Oh yum! Having a good snack after a workout is so key. I like that you used plant-based protein powder . . . my tummy can’t handle the whey protein!
I made these because I accidentally ordered Orgain peanut butter protein powder and thought this would be threat to try- I made them and they are amazing ! Do you have the nutritional breakdown? I put it in My
Fitness Pal and just want to double check my counts.

Hi Ann! It makes me so happy that you loved this recipe! It is soo good! I don’t have the nutritional breakdown, yet. But, in the meantime I found this website that will help you generate the food stats you need: https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076. I hope it will be helpful.
I calculated the nutritional content using this recipe but I left out the chia seeds. I also used Orgain chocolate fudge flavor instead of the vanilla but the nutritional content is the same. The recipe made 20 bites. Each bite contained 100 calories, 9 grams of carb, 4.5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat.
Whenever I make bites like these, I get SUPER addicted and eat wayyyy too many! hahaha! They sound DELICIOUS though!
Thank you for your recipe. I love Orgain products. Would you have the nutritional information for the bites? I am on WW and would like to add them to my plan.
Thank you

Yum! I love protein bites. Such a great healthy snack!
love it!
yum! i love love these convenient little snacks!
Protein is so important to our body most especially if you are working out and this food looks so delicious and such a good food to eat after your workout.
I need to do this! I’m trying to eat more than 150 grams a day but it can be so monotonous!
I think this is good for me as I workout 5 days a week and need plenty of protein after my workout. This would be great snacks.
These look yummy! i’ll definitely have to make them for a post-workout snack.

Those sound really good. I’ve been trying out similar recipes lately and haven’t found one I’ve liked that much. Will have to give yours a try! Thanks for sharing.
I wish the current weather in my country would permit me to exercise outdoors. It’s been raining like crazy the past few days!
These sound amazing!! I have tried a similar recipe for something like this but with peanut butter. I want to try this one though!

Oh my god! I’d like to make them for my mother. You can make a fortune by selling this lol
I was just telling my mom I need tp find a new protein to mix things up with my post workout smoothies.
No bake is such a great way to go! And with a healthy mix to add to it, too. These seem perfect and easy to make!
No bake is such a great way to go! I shall give them a try very soon.
those look really yummy!
This looks like something I could get into! I haven’t been having a lot of energy lately and this could be the key. I love shopping at Target, my next trip I will have to pick this up and try it out. Thanks for sharing!
What a cool recipe! I’ll have to try this out!
What an interesting and yummy recipe! That would be perfect for my long runs!
They look and sound so yummy! I definitely would love to snack on them. Thanks for sharing the recipe❤️
I hope the protein powder you are using does not use pea protein as it has been show to cause gout.
Sounds great, I wonder how I can use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats.
I’m going to try yours first. .
Thank you, I love orgain.

Hi Brenda. I am sure you could try using steel cut oats. I am guessing the texture could be a bit gritter; but, still delicious.
These were delicious AND my picky eater daughter actually enjoyed them too. I’ll definitely be making more.

Hi Marcia! I am so happy to hear this. I think they can easily pass for “candy!” LOL!
Do you have the nutritional facts on these by chance?
I calculated the nutritional content using this recipe but I left out the chia seeds. I also used Orgain chocolate fudge flavor instead of the vanilla but the nutritional content is the same. The recipe made 20 bites. Each bite contained 100 calories, 9 grams of carb, 4.5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat.
Can collagen peptides be added to this recipe? If so, how much and should I take anything out?
These are so good! I used milled flax seed instead of chia seeds, and agave syrup instead of honey, because I already had those on-hand. Easy to mix up and so delicious! A great sweet snack to have available, and they’ll be my quick breakfast items this week.
