Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add almond butter and honey. Stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and fully integrated, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. To the same bowl, add rolled oats, dried cranberries, shelled pistachios, and vanilla protein powder. Sprinkle in sea salt and vanilla extract. Mix everything together for 3–5 minutes, until evenly incorporated.
  3. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes to allow the bites to firm up.
  5. Transfer the bites to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
