Key Lime Pie “Recovery” Bites

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 5 Medjool dates, pitted
• 1/3 cup raw walnuts
• 1/3 cup raw oats (certified gluten-free if necessary)

For the filling:

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt, plain
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 scoop Gold Standard 100% Whey, Key Lime Pie
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Place cupcake liners into a 6-count cupcake tin. Set aside.

Add the dates, walnuts and oats to a food processor and process until well combined and looks like coarse sand. It should feel sticky between your fingers. Once ready, place about a ping pong ball size of crust mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and flatten out with your fingers so it covers the bottom like a crust (it should be well packed). Set aside.

In a small bowl, add the softened cream cheese, yogurt, protein powder, lime juice and honey. Mix well with a whisk until smooth.

Scoop out the filling and place evenly into each cupcake tin. Place tin in the freezer for an hour or until ready to eat, allowing 5 minutes to thaw. Store leftover tarts in the freezer.
