These gluten free peanut butter protein bites have a texture that reminds me of cookie dough, they’re mildly sweet, and are a perfect on-the-go snack for a quick punch of protein when you need it.
I just started a habit of making a batch of these for Jason at the beginning of the week. He loves that they’re packed with protein, and a good alternative to store bought granola bars.
We store these bites in a container in the fridge to last him the week—they’re the perfect after work snack before we bundle up and head out for a run in the evening.
