Vanilla Latte Protein Bites

Looking for snacks, to put into my boys' lunchboxes, I found this!  They love coffee flavoring, and these little bites are easy to eat. 

Ingredients

¼ cup chopped nuts (hazelnuts are awesome)

⅓ cup almond meal or coconut flour

½ cup nut butter

1- 2 Tbsp ground coffee

¼ to ⅓ cup Vanilla bean Protein of choice

¼ to ⅓ cup maple syrup. You can also use honey if maple syrup is not available.

Optional- ¼ tsp each: pure vanilla bean extract, maple extract

Instructions

   Chop nuts in food processor if they aren't already chopped . Transfer into a large bowl and add in all the remaining ingredients with the honey/maple syrup being the last . Mix well ( I use my hands) and roll into bite size balls. Coat bites (once frozen) with extra protein powder and/or coffee. Makes about 20 balls. Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
