If you read my blog often you know I am always looking for a quick way to eat something on the go and prepping ahead makes it the easiest! Here is a quick and easy way to add healthy fats to your on the go meal. There’s even a little boost of protein in them! Now all you have to add is a protein and a carb and you’re good to go! Now these are not the prettiest snack but I promise they taste way better than they look!
Ingredients:
- 2 tbs. almond butter
- 2 tbs. coconut butter
- 2 tbs. sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
- 2 tbs. honey
Directions:
- In food processor add in all of your ingredients and pulse 2-3 minutes until blended.
- Your mixture will be rather runny but roll it into balls.
- Freeze for 3-4 hours and then remove from the freezer and place in your refrigerator.
- Store in the refrigerator and grab one or two when you need some healthy fats on the go!
Makes 10 balls

Those don’t actually look too bad. I’ve been thinking about picking up almond butter lately. It’s just so darn expensive! Do you have a preferred brand?
I love Justin’s almond butter but it is pretty pricey!
these are such a great idea!! i hate raisins but i’m wondering if they would work without..
Yes they definitely would! Maybe you could swap dates or dried cranberries instead! You couldn’t really taste the raisins anyway!
Love making little bites like these! My favourite on the go healthy fat is just handful of almonds or a banana with soy nut butter!
A handful of almonds always does the trick for me too!
I love making any kind of balls to go!! And I love almond butter, cashew butter, and sunflower seed butter!
Me too! Any of those three I love!
I’m NUTS for my pistachios
Love pistachios too!
We’re all doing to-go food today! My favorite healthy fat is avocado… followed by cashews. Really, I love all fats though.
These balls look tasty. Brown food rocks.
I love avocado too!!!
Yum. I don’t think you can get more incredible ingredients together into one cookie! Well, maybe a little dark chocolate!
I’m a big fan of almonds, pistachios and dark chocolate!
Some dark chocolate in these would be amazing!
What a friggen awesome list of ingredients all mushed together!
Hahaha thanks Jessie!
You can’t go wrong with almond butter and coconut butter! Great idea adding in the protein powder. My favorite healthy snack on the go is a Larabar or my Paleo Power Ball….or really any kind of healthy ball, like these.
I love any kind of these bites too! Such a great quick snack!
I love the balls recipes, but have yet to try my hand at them. This recipe looks awesome. I love almond butter.
Definitely try them! They’re so easy to make too!

Well this is clearly a win for me. Coconut butter = instant love!!! Great idea. And I love that they have a little protein punch from the powder!

Great idea! For me, I’d just switch out to a vegan protein powder and these would be perfect. Pinning for next week!
Awesome! Glad you like them!
Love making little bites like these for on the go snacks. And I also love carrying around little squeeze packs of almond butter in my purse. Perfect for busting out when you’re eating an apple or banana.
Me too! I always have a couple of those squeeze packs on hand!
I love anything grab and go. Especially if it’s sweet. These look great!
Me too! I have such a sweet tooth!
