If you’re always looking for a better-for-you snack that actually tastes good (and helps you get a little extra protein), this is it. These Coconut Chocolate Chip Protein Bites are rich, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying – made with simple pantry staples and no oven required. They’re the kind of snack you’ll want to keep stocked at all times.
These no-bake protein bites are the perfect mix of chewy, nutty, and sweet – with just the right crunch from the chocolate chips. They’re made with almond flour, peanut butter, and your favorite vanilla or peanut butter protein powder for a snack that delivers on flavor and energy. Make them ahead, freeze them for later, or double the batch (highly recommend!) – you won’t regret it.
Mix the Ingredients : In a large bowl, combine almond flour, peanut butter, protein powder, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.
Fold in the Fun : Gently mix in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut until full incorporated.
Scoop and Shape : Use a small cookie scoop (or your hands) to form into golf ball-sized bites. Place each bite on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment.
Chill to Set : Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, transfer to a storage container and keep cold until ready to enjoy.
Storage Tips
Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days in an airtight container.
For longer storage (trust me, you won’t need this – they won’t last), freeze bites for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.
Tip : Store them in a reusable silicone bag for grab-and-go snacking!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different nut butter?
Absolutely! Just be sure to use a brand that only contains 1 – 2 ingredients – the nut and sea salt!
Do I have to use protein powder?
Nope! If you want to skip the protein, just substitute with a little extra almond flour until the consistency is scoopable.
Can I make these without coconut?
Yes – simply omit the shredded coconut.
What kind of chocolate chips do you recommend?
I have used them all – mini chocolate chips, baking chips, regular chocolate chips, and I have even roughly chopped a chocolate bar I already had in the pantry.
