PROTEIN BITES:     a portable snack that boosts energy, provides protein and healthy fats, and satisfies your sweet tooth

There are a variety of recipes for Protein Bites that make many “flavors.”  Use what ingredients and protein powder you have on hand.  Feel free to modify the ingredients to better suit your needs and taste.

This recipe comes from Rothwell MMA member, Taylor.  She says “what I like about this recipe is that it is flexible! You don’t have to measure exactly and I’ve tweaked it to be a little healthier and packed with more protein. For the most part you can add what you like and take out what you don’t!!  I use them for in-between classes or right before class for a little boost of energy  Everyone loves when I bring these in to share.”
