    These delicious little Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites are easy to make and packed with peanut butter, chocolate and extra protein! Store them in the fridge or freezer for a sweet guilt free snack!

    Here we are again with yet another recipe involving chocolate and peanut butter. If the duo didn't pair so well I don't know what I would do! Chocolate and peanut butter is my husband's all time favorite sweet treat and dessert. He'll eat just about anything if it has chocolate and peanut butter in it. Even these HEALTHY protein bites. Yes, that's right, healthy protein bites. These little balls of chocolate and peanut butter are healthy, delicious and a breeze to make!

    What's in Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites

    • ½ cup honey
    • 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter, creamy
    • 2 tablespoons Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder
    • 1 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
    • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

    What kind of protein powder should I use?

    You can use any kind that you like. I prefer a soy protein powder, but you could use a vegan, whey or any other type of vanilla or chocolate flavored protein powder.

    How to Make Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

    I love simple recipes like this one. Just add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix together really well! Using a medium size cookie scoop, portion the bites and then roll them into balls. This recipe will make around 20 bites. You can eat them right away or chill them in the fridge or freeze them.

    How to Store Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites?

    I like to store all my protein bites in the freezer in a labeled zip top bag.  However, you can store them between layers of wax or parchment paper in an air tight container or zip top bag in the fridge as well.

    How to Freeze Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites?

    Follow all the directions to make the bites, and place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the sheet pan in the freezer and let the bites freeze for a couple hours. Once frozen, place them in a freezer safe air tight container or zip top bag and label.

    To thaw: simply take a bite out and let it sit about 10-15 minutes. I like to eat mine cold, but the hubs and kiddos like to eat them frozen! Or you can take them out the night before and pack them in your lunch for the next day!
