Chewy Chocolate Coconut Protein Bites

Make your own protein treats at home with this no-bake, power packed recipe for Chewy Chocolate Coconut Protein Bites. 

Store bought granola bars, energy bars and protein bars are a great option for anyone on the go with no options other than greasy fast food or candy.  But, for anyone who is really watching what they put into their bodies these bars may not be the best choice.  Typically they have added sugars and other unnecessary ingredients.  It is very important to read the labels for not only total calories and fat, but the sugar and carbohydrates included in each bar.

If you have the choice and/or time, I always recommend making homemade protein bites.  That way you can take control of the ingredients and know exactly what is going into them.

Even though these may seem like a sweet indulgence, my Chewy Chocolate Coconut Protein Bites are nothing to feel guilty about.  Full of flax, protein and sweet coconut, you will have a yummy treat perfect for any time of the day.

HOW DO I MAKE CHEWY CHOCOLATE COCONUT PROTEIN BITES?

In a food processor, combine ¾ cup mixed nuts, ¼ cup flax meal, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (approximately 28 grams), ¼ cup coconut flakes (sweetened) and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.  

Next, add ½ cup natural maple syrup and ½ cup natural peanut butter. Pulse until you have a smooth consistency.  (If your dough seems dry, feel free to add a tablespoon or two of water).  Place the dough into your refrigerator for and hour or two.

Remove dough from refrigerator and mold it into small bite sized balls.  Store in an airtight container back in your refrigerator or freezer.
