    What's in Monster Cookie Protein Bites?

    • ½ cup rolled oats
    • ¼ cup honey
    • ½ cup Natural Peanut Butter, creamy
    • ½ cup vanilla protein powder, whichever brand you prefer
    • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, mini M&M's or the combination of both

    How to Make Healthy Monster Cookie Bites?

    Not much to this recipe. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together well. Then using a cookie scoop, portion out the bites and roll them into balls. Place bites onto a parchment lined baking sheet and you can either chill and store them in the fridge or freeze them.

    Tips for Delicious Monster Cookie Protein Bites

    1. Make sure everything is mixed together really well before portioning the bites. If they're not, they won't hold together as well.
    2. Use rolled oats. It gives the bites a better texture. If you are in a pickle and only have quick oats, they will work.
    3. Use mini versions of the chocolate chips or M&Ms. The bites will hold together better.
    4. If you want even more texture in your bites, use crunchy peanut butter.
    5. For allergy or preference purposes, try a different nut or seed butter.
    6. Store in fridge or freezer for best results.

    How to Freeze Protein Bites

    Once the bites are all formed and on a parchment lined baking sheet, just pop the pan in the freezer. Freeze the bites for a hour or so and then place them in a air tighter freezer safe container or zip top bag.

    To thaw: take out desired amount the night before and thaw in fridge or thaw on counter for 10-15 minutes. Or eat them frozen like my hubby and kids do!
