Combining cashew butter, almond flour and protein powder creates a delicious bite-sized treat that is rich, sweet, and satisfying. Even more enjoyable than the taste of these cashew butter bites is how easy they are to make.

I am such a huge fan of cashew butter, and I’m an even bigger fan of easy-to-make recipes. Yes, I love spending time in my kitchen – there’s a reason why I’m a food blogger! But, sometimes, I want to whip something up that I know is super simple and just as equally yummy. These creamy bite-sized treats are the ticket being perfectly portioned and great for sharing.

Enjoy them straight from the fridge or freezer. They come together in just a few easy steps utilizing just a few simple ingredients. These are the best healthy protein snack to fix your sweet tooth and fill you up with 6 grams of protein per energy bite. I love creating protein bites recipes because it’s an easy way to eat something sweet, small, and filling.

If you are on social media, you may have seen the latest food trend that’s taking homemade summer treats to a whole new level. Chocolate-dipped fruit and nut butter bites have been all over my social feeds, and I fully understand why. They seem incredibly simple because you only need a few key ingredients to make them. People have even started personalizing the trend by adding  different fruits to them as well, like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

This delicious no-bake dessert recipe starts with cashew butter and almond flour for the ultimate rich, delicious filling. It has a cookie dough-like texture, which keeps you wanting more. Each ball is the perfect portion size, but do not limit yourself to just one (especially when the sweet craving hits).

Topping and mix-in options are endless for an irresistible, customizable dessert experience. Perfect for any occasion! And of course…no bake – no oven needed and the only wait time is for them to set in the freezer.

For this recipe, I used almond flour and protein powder as a high-protein gluten-free flour, to create a healthy snack packed with healthy fats, perfect as a pre- or post-workout snack. Energy balls, protein bites, snack balls, bliss balls whatever you call them they are everywhere!

Whoever is responsible for the idea that we should mash a bunch of healthy ingredients into one little ball as a snack is an absolute genius in my book.

Little spheres of snacking. Little orbs of awesome.

They are among the most tasty, filling, and convenient healthy snack ideas you can enjoy. If you are looking to make homemade protein/energy balls, though, then you have probably got an inkling that DIY’ing it has certain advantages.

The main draw with going the homemade route is the infinite customizability. When you make your own healthy treats, you never have to compromise on getting exactly what you are looking for. You can also save money by making your own healthy homemade snacks and they can taste way better than anything you can buy at the store.

I love having my freezer stocked with these creamy, nut butter bites packed with protein and natural sweetness for a perfect guilt-free dessert or for whenever I just want a ‘lil somethin’.
