Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bites
Makes 16-18 bites, 8 servings
Ingredients:
½ cup natural peanut butter
4 TBS vanilla protein powder (we used Aloha plant-based, soy free organic protein powder)
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
4 TBS unsweetened nut milk of your choice (we used cashew milk)
Pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Add peanut butter, protein powder, coconut flakes, nut milk, and sea salt to food processor. Pulse until well combined. Press with fingers. If mixture does not easily stick together, add another TBS of nut milk.
- Add mixture to a medium sized mixing bowl. Lightly stir in chocolate chips.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place on parchment.
- Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours in air-tight container.
- Enjoy!
Tip- Look for chocolate chip varieties with only a few ingredients. Enjoy Life and Equal Exchange are brands that are soy, dairy, and gluten-free.
