Ingredients in Protein Bites

Today I decided to try a new combination of ingredients for protein bites from my favorite Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bites and they are delicious!

What’s new? I used blue agave syrup instead of honey because it is supposed to be a lower glycemic sweetener and therefore not affect your blood sugar levels as much. (I got it right at my local grocery store.)

Also, instead of pre-made peanut butter I used whole roasted and salted almonds. Lastly, coconut flour instead of oat. I love the flavor that was the end result.

How to make Chocolate Covered Almond Protein Bites

First, you are going to grind up your almonds in a food processor with the olive oil. Continue grinding until it is very small meal… it won’t be completely smooth.

Then, add in the rest of your ingredients except for the chocolate chips and combine in the food processor. Next, remove the food processor off of the base unit and take out the blade. Then, add your chocolate chips and stir well. If you are having trouble getting them to stick together, add a little more agave syrup at a time until they stick well!

Finally, shape into 1-inch balls. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about a week or in the freezer for a month. I don’t think they will last that long in your home, but just in case!
