Chocolate Protein Energy Bites

These Chocolate Protein Energy Bites are my absolute favourite afternoon snack. They are so quick and easy to make, are packed full of healthy fats and protein and best of all they will help to curb that 3 pm sweet craving.

They are also great to have for an on-the-go breakfast with a smoothie and last really well out of the fridge for the day if you wanted to take some with you in the car or in your bag.

Boosters: I like to roll mine in a little-desiccated coconut, cacao powder or chia seeds to mix it up and sneak in more goodies, but you can always leave them as is like I’ve done below.

Yummy chocolate protein bliss balls.

Extra Tip

If you’re wanting to enjoy your energy bites pre or post workout then you could always add in another scoop of protein powder and remove the booster or cacao powder to give it extra protein.

Personalise them: You can mix and match this recipe really easily depending on what you have on hand. I’ve suggested almonds and cashews for the nuts but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. You can also replace the Medjool dates for dried apricots or for a completely sugar-free option replace with nut butter.
