coconut chocolate chip protein bites (no bake!)
If you’re looking for an easy, no-bake treat to keep stocked in the fridge for the week—this is it. These Coconut Chocolate Chip Protein Bites are made with simple, nourishing ingredients and pressed into a pan so you can slice them into perfect little bite-sized squares.
They’re naturally sweetened, packed with protein thanks to Clean Simple Eats Coconut Cream protein powder, and have just the right balance of chewy, chocolatey, and coconutty. Basically: your new favorite meal prep snack.
Ingredients (1 serving)
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Clean Simple Eats Coconut Cream protein powder (2 packets)
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (I like to use lilly’s)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional Add-Ins:
1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
1 tbsp coconut oil for extra richness
Instructions
Line a small square pan (8×8 works great) with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until fully combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
Once firm, lift the mixture out of the pan and slice into small bite-sized squares.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer!
Balanced Tip:
These are perfect for busy days when you just need something sweet without the crash. They’re Hudson-approved, mom-approved, and ideal for keeping on hand when life gets full (read: always).
