1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein powder

0.25 cup quick-cooking oats

2 whole medjool dates

1 tbsp hemp seeds

0.25 tsp ground turmeric

0.25 tsp ground cinnamon

0.13 tsp sea salt

0.13 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp water

PREPARATION

• 1

  Remove the pits from the Medjool dates and roughly chop them into smaller pieces.

• 2

  Place the quick-cooking oats and chopped dates into a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse, sticky crumb.

• 3

  Add the vanilla whey protein powder, hemp seeds, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper to the processor.

• 4

  Pulse several times to evenly distribute the spices and protein powder throughout the oat and date mixture.

• 5

  Add 1 tablespoon of water and process on high until the mixture begins to clump together into a cohesive dough.

• 6

  If the mixture is too crumbly to hold its shape, add additional water 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

• 7

  Scoop the dough into 4 or 5 equal portions and roll them between your palms to form smooth, round bites.

• 8

  Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
