iNSTRUCTIONS

1. Pop the amaranth

If using unpopped amaranth, heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add about ½ tablespoon amaranth at a time. Cover and shake the pan until the grains pop, about 10 to 15 seconds. Remove immediately to prevent burning and repeat in small batches.

2. Mix the binder

In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sweetener, and cinnamon until smooth.

3. Combine

Fold in the popped amaranth and any additional add-ins until evenly mixed.

4. Shape

Roll the mixture into small balls, about ¾ to 1 inch in diameter.

5. Set

Refrigerate for 15 to 60 minutes to firm up before serving.

These energy protein balls are a simple, nourishing snack made with SIMPLi amaranth, an ancient grain naturally rich in plant-based protein, iron, and calcium. Lightly popped for a crunchy texture, amaranth is combined with creamy peanut butter and a touch of natural sweetness to create an easy, no-bake recipe that fuels busy days.

Known in Peru as bolitas de kiwicha, this snack has been enjoyed across generations as a source of steady energy. Today, it is just as perfect before a workout, a stroller walk, or packed into a lunchbox for an afternoon boost.

Easy to make and endlessly customizable with spices or seeds, these energy protein balls are proof that real food can fuel both movement and everyday moments.
