No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bites

3-4 WW points per bite

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
• 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
• 1/2 cup protein powder (your choice of flavor, chocolate or vanilla work well)
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1/4 cup chia seeds or flax seeds (optional for extra fiber)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until smooth and well combined.

2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia or flax seeds, and chocolate chips (if using) to the peanut butter mixture. Stir everything together until fully combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together when pressed.

3. Form the Bites: Use your hands or a spoon to form small bite-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter). If the mixture feels too sticky, you can refrigerate it for 10 minutes before rolling into balls.

4. Chill: Place the protein bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a plate, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

5. Enjoy! Once chilled, your No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bites are ready to enjoy! Keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

These protein bites are a great, healthy snack that combines protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Enjoy!
