I love receiving homemade gifts – especially when they are food related! Naturally, I also like giving homemade food gifts to my friends. This Christmas I have been giving ‘Protein Bites in a Jar’ but they are really suitable to give as gifts all year round and work well as hostess gifts!
Protein bites are great
- for lunch boxes
- quick projects to do with children
- quick snacks
- additional protein sources
- for vegetarians.
You will need:
- pint-sized mason jars
- oats
- unsweetened coconut
- mini chocolate chips
- chocolate protein powder
- ribbon and supplies to make a personalized tag
Instructions:
Simply fill the following layers into your mason jar
- 3/4 cup Chocolate Shaklee Life Protein Powder
- 3/4 cup gluten-free Old Fashioned Oats
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
You may have to press the individual layers down to fit it all in. Then close it tight, decorate with a bow and add a tag with instructions. Mine said
Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
- Add 1/3 cup honey + 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- Mix well and make balls
