We made protein bites today with our little helper and broke down all the ingredients I use (and scoop!) to get the perfect protein power bite.
I think the biggest secret to creating the perfect power bite is what ingredients you use. If you’re using different ingredients than the ones listed below, they might turn out a different consistency. Read below to get the exact ingredients I use, and tips for creating the perfect bite.
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BITES
INGREDIENTS
-
1 cup natural peanut butter (I use Costco brand Adam’s Chunky Peanut Butter. You can use creamy, just make sure it’s all natural!)
-
1⁄2 cup raw honey (I always recommend raw honey like this so it has some nutritional value)
-
1 tsp. vanilla extract
-
1 serving CSE Simply Vanilla protein powder
-
1 1⁄2 cups Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Mix
-
Dash of sea salt (I love this by Redmond)
-
30 dark chocolate chips (I love these by Guittard)
DIRECTIONS
1. Mix the peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, add the protein powder, Kodiak Cakes Mix, sea salt and chocolate chips. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.
3. Using a cookie scoop, scoop into balls. Store in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
SCOOP
I love THIS ONE from Amazon in size 70!
NOTES
-
If you’re using Oats, we love Bob’s Red Mill Organic Oats.
-
We mentioned in this video the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15. You can read more about them here.
-
I absolutely love using my Kitchenaid stand mixer with the paddle to mix these. Before I had my Kitchenaid stand mixer, I would mix the ingredients by hand.
-
I typically always mix my honey, protein powder, and peanut butter first, before mixing in other ingredients.
-
Like I mentioned in the video, bites can stay up to 2 weeks in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer!
