Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 sheet pan
  • parchment paper or silicone sheet pan liner
  • 1 small deep bowl for chocolate coating
  • 1 small cookie/ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Cream Filling

  • 1½ cup non-fat greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup powdered peanut butter
  • 2 scoop protein powder I use plain, but you could use any flavor that sounds good!
  • 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt for peanut butter filling

Chocolate Shell

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients for the peanut butter cream in a medium mixing bowl and using a whisk combine until smooth.
    1½ cup non-fat greek yogurt, ¾ cup powdered peanut butter, 2 scoop protein powder, 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 pinch salt
  • Line a sheet pan with a silicone baking liner or parchment paper
  • Using the small cookie scoop, scoop flat scoops of the filling and place on the lined sheet pan. Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours. The longer you freeze the easier they will be to coat in chocolate
  • Once the filling has frozen in the freezer, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small/deep vessel.
    1 cup dark chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Remove the filling balls from the freezer and drop each ball into the chocolate mixture. I like to use a fork to pick them up and the allow the excess chocolate to drip off the sides. Return to the sheet pan and top with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Repeat for the remaining balls.

  • Once the chocolate filling has completely set, you may enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for up to three months or approximately 1 week in the fridge.

Notes

Store protein bites in an airtight container.  You can enjoy frozen or refrigerated. 
I like to keep a big batch in my freezer, then move 2-4 to the fridge each day to soften a little bit.
