Hey guys! I thought I’d pop on here with a short and very sweet recipe for a healthy treat to have throughout your day. Today’s recipe is for protein energy bites. They’re filled with good fats, protein, and are sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. To make it even better, this version is made with coffee flavored protein powder, because the morning cup of coffee just isn’t cutting it anymore.
Making protein energy bites is super easy and they’re a great option to add to a weekly meal prep. I know I really like to grab one of these bites as soon as I’m heading out the door for the gym, and it holds me over throughout a workout until I can have my next meal. I think they came out pretty tasty, and having a little touch of chocolate in them makes them feel more like a treat!

Notes:
- These protein bites are good for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
- The coffee flavored protein powder that I used is from About Time (Mochaccino flavored – so delicious), and it does have caffeine. Make sure you check the labels for your coffee flavored protein to be aware of the caffeine content.
- You may want to make a double batch of these, especially if you plan on sharing, mine seem to disappear too fast!
If you end up making these, let me know what you think! I love the hint of chocolate and coffee for a little pick-me-up, hopefully you will too!
Until next time,
Paige
