hi there, lovely friends! today, i’ve got a delicious and super easy recipe for you: No Bake Double Chocolate Protein Bites.

these bites are the perfect snack or treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings while giving you a protein boost. and the best part? no baking required! let’s dive right into the ingredients:

ingredients:

• the protein powder brings a subtle richness to the bites, and you can choose between chocolate or vanilla for a customizable flavor.

• cocoa powder adds that unmistakable chocolatey depth, giving your bites that deep cocoa flavor.

• a touch of vanilla extract elevates the overall taste with its aromatic sweetness.

• medjool dates contribute a natural, caramel-like sweetness that binds everything together, so they’re really important!

• the runny peanut butter infuses a nutty creaminess that complements the chocolate perfectly. you can sub with almond butter, cashew butter or sunbutter!

• almond milk helps create a smooth, malleable texture that makes forming the bites a breeze.

texture:

these double chocolate protein bites boast a delish combination of textures. the base, with its blend of protein powder, cocoa, and almond milk, creates a soft and fudgy chewy interior.

the medjool dates play a crucial role in providing a natural stickiness, binding the ingredients together into a cohesive mixture.

the outer chocolate coating, made from melted chocolate and a touch of coconut oil, adds a contrasting layer of crispness.

it hardens nicely when chilled, resulting in a satisfying snap when you take that first bite.

why should you incorporate protein powder in your desserts?!

energy boost: protein treats can provide a quick and sustained energy boost, making them ideal for pre- or post-workout snacks.

muscle recovery: the protein in these treats aids in muscle recovery and repair after exercise.

satiety: protein promotes a feeling of fullness, which keeps you fueled longer!

blood sugar control: protein treats can help stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes and sugar cravings.

nutrient-rich: protein treats often contain other nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, offering a well-rounded snack option.

convenient: they are quick and easy to prepare, making them a convenient on-the-go snack option.

you can substitute oat flour for the protein powder in this recipe! oat flour adds a smooth, slightly nutty flavor and a pleasant texture, making it a great choice for kids or anyone looking for an alternative to protein powder.

it will still contribute to the overall structure of the bites while providing a wholesome, filling component to the recipe.

start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed, but it should work well as a 1:1 sub.

overall, these double chocolate protein bites are a yummm treat that satisfies your chocolate cravings while providing a protein-packed punch.

they’re the perfect blend of textures and flavors, making them a must-try for chocolate lovers and anyone seeking a wholesome snack with a touch of indulgence. enjoy! 🍫😋
