Almond Butter Protein Bites
These puppies are basically healthy cookie dough bites. Yes, you heard me right. Plus, they are healthy and super simple and easy to make! 5 ingredients… whhhhat!?
I love snacking on these for a little boost of energy. Or even having them for dessert! Someone hand me a spoon!
If you don’t like coconut, feel free to skip that ingredient. I’ve also added chia seeds before and it’s been delicious.
These will keep for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge, or you can freeze them!
