Coco Protein Bites

Can you believe we are almost in May! For some odd reason I feel summer is coming faster then expected. We are already in the 90’s and I am looking forward to fall. Pretty soon I will be complaining about the hot temps! I have been trying to stay away from the oven as much as I can; while trying to find healthy alternatives to kick my sweet tooth. Coco protein bites are all natural, take less than 10 minutes to make and only require a few ingredients. 

These bites maybe tiny, but only a few will keep you full all day long. They make the perfect snack when you’re looking for a healthy affordable treat that’s not in the vending machine!  Full of protein, fiber and super foods like chia seeds; make coco protein bites a healthy little snack for all occasions.
