Protein Packed Snacks

High-Protein Berry Breakfast Crumble

The secret to hiding the evidence that I bought way too many berries again: make it look intentional.

A cup of mixed berries bakes down with honey and vanilla under a crumble of oats, almond flour, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds and almond butter. Twenty-five minutes at 350°F, until the berries bubble and the top goes golden. The maple Greek yogurt goes on after, not before.

The cornstarch is the one judgement call. Skip it with firm berries; use it when they are very ripe or frozen, or the bottom turns watery instead of jammy.

With basic pantry items, these bliss bites are gluten-free, vegan, and can be made nut-free if you substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter. They store beautifully in the fridge but I prefer the freezer so we always have some on hand!
Peanut Butter Quinoa Energy Bites

Cooked quinoa is the trick here. It gives these energy bites a bit of chew that oats on their own never manage, and it stretches the peanut butter further so they are not quite as rich. No baking, no food processor, one bowl.

They set in the freezer in a couple of hours and keep there for weeks. This is what I hand over when someone announces they are starving fifteen minutes before dinner.
