Just because we are currently in the middle of our 30 Days to Healthy Habits, doesn’t mean we can’t satisfy our sweet tooth, which we both definitely have. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, but healthy food doesn’t have to be dissatisfying! There are so many ways to replicate your favorite unhealthy things in a healthier form.
One of our favorite things is a warm chocolate chip cookie. In fact, we already have a healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe on the blog, but we took it one step further. Chocolate chip protein bites!
The chocolate chip protein bites are, obviously, protein packed, with no added or refined sugars, and they’re the perfect little 2-3 bite snacks that we can choose as a healthy alternative when we are really wanting dessert or a sweet snack during the day. If you’re someone who would gravitate towards a handful of candy, a sugar packed granola bar, or even some ice cream, these bites will be perfect for you to help cut out some of that added sugar from your day! Not to mention, they’re super easy to make!

Enjoy 1-2 a day for a sweet protein treat!
If you like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, then you will love these bites! We make these almost every weekend for the week ahead, and I can definitely say that I get genuinely excited when it’s that time of the day to snack on a bite! But then again, I get really excited about food in general, so go see for yourself! What’s your favorite sweet treat when you’re on a bit of a health kick? We hope everyone has a great weekend!
