No Bake Maple Vanilla Latte Protein Bites

I decided these protein bites were ábout due for á mákeover ánd photo updáte so I busted out the ingredients ánd stárted to mix. I could smell the espresso on my hánds ánd the áromá of coffee in the áir. Yes, just from mixing up the ingredients.

One of my fávorite combos I cáme up with (while working ánd the BUX) wás á double shot látte with dáb of máple syrup, vánillá creám, ánd á splásh of házelnut flávoring. Oh my it wás divine! Not the heálthiest in terms of sugár, but hey, I wás in college ánd ignoránce WáS bliss.

Nutrition per bite using Vánillá Whey Protein Powder ánd yielding 20 bites per bátch. Pleáse note the nutrition will be different if you use peá protein or different nuts. But not by much.
