Better for you ingredients, better taste, and better for your body!

It's pumpkin spice season! And if you love pumpkin, you'll want to check out this pumpkin spice protein energy bite recipe that is not only tasty but also fueling and nourishing for your body.

This protein bite is a great snack or treat made with real food that fits into real life especially if made ahead so you can grab and go. The bites are dairy free, gluten free, grain free, peanut free, and refined sugar free so perfect if you have special food needs or need allergen free foods.

If you're familier with the Trim Healthy way of eating, this would be considered a satisfying or S recipe as it only contains healthy fats but no carbs. Many health benefits come from the nutrient dense foods in this recipe. I will highlight a few below.

The flaxseed meal is very high in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. It can be a wonderful food to consume during the first couple weeks of your cycle to help support natural hormone activity. Flax meal is also helpful for digestion, for blood sugar control, and for lowering bad LDL cholesterol and blood pressure. It is a fairly filling to help you feel satisfied as well.

Here's how to make the bites:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/2 cup + 1/3 cup flaxseed meal
5 T monkfruit sweetener (at Walmart too) or THM Gentle Sweet
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp mineral salt
2 T dairy free protein (I like this optimized collagen protein from Trim Healthy)
Sugar free chocolate chips (optional)
Pumpkin seeds, nuts, etc (optional)

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate if sticky until able to roll into balls. Or eat it out of the bowl! Enjoy!
