In a medium bowl, stir together the cooked buckwheat, cooked quinoa, puffed amaranth, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt until the powder is evenly distributed throughout the grains.
Add the almond butter and honey to the grain mixture. Use a stiff spatula or your hands to mix thoroughly, pressing the mixture against the sides of the bowl until it becomes sticky and holds its shape when squeezed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll firmly between your palms to form 12 round bites. Place them on the sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up before serving. Done when firm to the touch.
