Chocolate Chip Protein Bites
I have a big time obsession with chocolate chip cookies and if I can get anything to taste like one while also being a grab and go protein snack? That is a huge win for me.
These protein bites taste insanely close to beloved chocolate chip cookies- in large part thanks to the protein powder I used (Designs for Health Pure Paleo protein in chocolate), however any protein that feels good to you is fine! If anything it might just make it taste more chocolatey.
