Can you believe that today is the first day of fall!?
I am seeing signs EVERYWHERE that fall is in the air π
Saturday morning, while I was running I spotted this little gem growing in someone’s front yard!
How amazing is that?
Saturday night we went to our friend’s soccer game (he plays for the Switchbacks) and it was a crisp evening that just felt so fally. Β I loved it!
To celebrate FALL I wanted to share a super simple recipe for some tasty little snack bites that don’t involve a food processor, blender, oven, or any other fancy kitchen equipment. Β Just a bowl and a spoon!
The star ingredients in these bites are:
Pumpkin |Β high in fiber, beta-carotene, and potassium
Almond ButterΒ |Β may reduce risk of heart disease, rich in magnesium
Flax Meal |Β high in manganese, vitamin B1, omega 3 fatty acids
Sunwarrior Protein PowderΒ | plant based protein comprised of brown rice, pea, quinoa, chia, and amaranth protein
Pumpkin, almond butter, and plant based protein combine to make a delicious and EASY snack bite to fuel your day.
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 c pumpkin puree
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/3 c almond butter warmed slightly to make it extra drippy
1 1/2 cup oats
1 scoop vanilla Sunwarrior Protein
3 Tbsp Flax meal (ground flax seed)
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix until combined.
Roll into balls of desired size and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
Enjoy!
Notes
If your hands get really sticky while rolling these into balls, simply get your hands slightly wet. This will eliminate mess and make the balls much easier to roll!

Sunwarrior provided me with complimentary product, but I was not compensated for my time. Β All opinions are my own.

So sorry you can’t do Brown Rice Protein! I bet you could add in some coconut flour instead (or almond meal if you can’t have that!) If you try them, let me know your modifications!

yes, yes, yes. YUM! Making these and keeping them on hand all season long!
Yeah! Store them in the freezer and they are really delish!

Thanks, Gretchen! π
Those snack bites look yummy! I used to LOVE SunWarrior protein powder. I can’t have rice protein anymore and I miss it!
