Protein bites can be healthy when incorporated into a balanced diet, but shouldn't be eaten whenever you want a snack. While they afford a lot of energy, they are not as good for you if you are not expending the energy they provide. 

Protein bites can be a great snack following a workout to aid in recovery, or when you need a little boost of energy. They are easy to make, easy to pack, and are super tasty!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (Dustie prefers chunky peanut butter)
  • 1 cup dry oatmeal
  • 1/3 cup agave syrup
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 
  • 2 tbsp protein powder (optional)

Directions 

1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl (2-3 minutes).

2. Once well combined, roll into desired shape.

3. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

4. Eat when desired!

Makes 12-24 bites depending on size!

FAQs

1. Can I freeze protein bites?

Yes! If you have leftovers, pack them in a sealed container and store in the freezer. Allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature. 

2. How do I store protein bites?

If you do not want to freeze them, you can store your protein bites in a sealed container or bag in the fridge. You can store them for one to two weeks. 

3. Is peanut butter high in protein? 

Peanut butter is rich in heart-healthy fats and is a good source of protein. As mentioned, consuming foods high in protein following a workout can aid in recovery and help to build muscle. A 2-tablespoon serving of peanut butter contains up to 8 grams of protein and 2 to 3 grams of fibre.
