No Bake Shakeology Fudgy Protein Bites

Okay… I don’t want to hype these up too much, but these Fudgy Protein Bites are pretty amazing. I had lower expectations when making them because sometimes protein balls can taste chalky and I used PB2 powder which can be very dry tasting, BUT these were far from that.

I felt like I was biting into a piece of fudge that was soft, chewy, and peanut buttery. Yes I made up my own word there but that’s how it tasted.

I adapted the recipe from Chalene Johnson’s and changed it up a little bit. I made 1/2 batch which is the recipe I am sharing today. The reason I made half was because I didn’t want to waste ingredients if they came out terrible

SO feel free to double the recipe because these won’t last long in your fridge.

I am so excited to share this recipe with you. These homemade protein bars were delicious and super satisfying post-workout. The bonus is there are no preservatives and they are healthy.

Yesterday when I was prepping foods, I knew I needed some on the go snacks this week that were filling since my schedule is busy. These bars are sure to do the trick!

This morning I taught a Group Power class and immediately trained a client right after so this was the perfect post workout snack to eat as I was leaving class. With about 9g of protein, I knew my muscles would be replenished. I loved that it had some crunch from the almonds and the combination of chocolate and peanut butter felt almost like a treat!

The best part is they are no bake! It literally took me 10 minutes to whip these up and I’m definitely going to make these weekly. I might try out some different flavors
