Chocolate Strawberry Protein Bites
Quick, fun, and tasty, these are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while packing in a little extra nutrition. A simple mix of nut butter, oats, and protein powder forms the base, while a few mini chocolate chips and freeze-dried strawberries add the fun.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup almond, cashew, or another nut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (should be 50-60 grams)
- 1 and 1/4 cups freeze-dried strawberries chopped into small pieces
- 2-3 Tablespoons milk any kind
- 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place oats, nut butter, honey, protein powder, strawberries, 2 Tablespoons of the milk, and chocolate chips in a large bowl.1 and 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/3 cup almond, cashew, or another nut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 2 scoops chocolate protein powder, 1 and 1/4 cups freeze-dried strawberries, 2-3 Tablespoons milk, 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- Stir very well to combine — it will seem too thick at first and can be difficult to mix, but use your muscles and it will come together. Use your hands towards the end to press in the last few bits and knead the mixture together.
- Once everything is evenly mixed, use a small cookie scoop to portion the dough into balls. Use your hands to roll them smooth. If you find that the balls are not holding together, add the extra Tablespoon of milk, or even a few drops more, to the mixture. Stir well and try rolling again.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator or freezer. This is just a matter of preference -- I like them best fridge cold. Enjoy!
