Soft, cinnamon-spiced, and just sweet enough to feel indulgent, these protein bites are the kind of snack you keep in the fridge for busy mornings, post-workout fuel, or that mid-afternoon moment when you want something sweet but healthy. Minimal ingredients, no oven, and a texture that truly feels like cinnamon roll dough.
Cinnamon roll flavor without the bake time has a way of feeling both nostalgic and practical. These no-bake protein bites were created for days when nourishment needs to be easy, portable, and satisfying – without sacrificing flavor or texture.
They come together in minutes, store beautifully in the fridge, and offer a balanced blend of protein, healthy fats, and natural sweetness. Simple food that works with real life.

MAKE-AHEAD & STORAGE TIPS
Store protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. They also freeze well for up to 1 month – just thaw briefly before enjoying.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use a different protein powder?
Yes – choose a protein powder you enjoy the taste of. Texture may vary slightly depending on the brand, and you won’t get the classic cinnamon roll flavor if you’re not using a branded cinnamon roll flavored protein powder.
Are these gluten-free?
Yes, as long as your protein powder is certified gluten-free.
Can I make these dairy-free?
They already are – just use a dairy-free milk if needed.
What if my dough feels too dry?
Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the texture is soft and scoopable.
HOSTING TIPS
These protein bites are a thoughtful addition to a brunch spread, coffee bar, or wellness-focused gathering. Serve chilled in a small dish with a dusting of cinnamon and a tiny fork for an extra touch.
