Natural Protein Kit Kat Bites

A wholesome, protein-packed twist on the classic Kit Kat bar, made with natural ingredients like dates, cacao, and plant-based proteins. These bites offer a crunchy quinoa pop layer and a creamy cacao butter coating for a satisfying snack.

Steps

1. Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften, then drain. 2. In a food processor, blend the dates, sunflower butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth. 3. Add cacay protein, lupini protein, cacao powder, chia seeds, and dried granadilla pulp; pulse until well combined but still slightly textured. 4. Gently fold in the quinoa pops by hand to keep them crunchy. 5. Line a small rectangular mold or container with parchment paper. 6. Pour the mixture into the mold and press firmly to create an even layer. 7. Freeze for 30 minutes to set. 8. Meanwhile, melt the cacao butter gently over a double boiler. 9. Remove the set base from the freezer and cut into bars or bite-sized pieces. 10. Dip each piece into the melted cacao butter to coat, then place on parchment paper. 11. Chill in the refrigerator until the cacao coating hardens. 12. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
