Yes, you read that right! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites! Delicious, clean and full of protein. I have been baking a lot this holiday season. My famous sugar cookies, peanut butter blossoms, gingerbread cookies. I could easily eat a dozen of each of these cookies! This season, I am trying really hard to establish some boundaries on my cheat meals. Sure I will allow myself to indulge on the holidays, but I surely don't want one day to turn into a week, then a month, etc. I decided to try to give a clean "cookie" a shot and came up with these no bake cookie dough bites, packed full of protein and completely guilt free. They were very much a success and help fight those cravings for sweets around the holidays (and any day for that matter). Enjoy!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use non-GMO, Jay Robb, egg white protein powder)
1/2 cup pure honey
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
In a food processor, grind cashews until they reach a flour like consistency then add them to a medium bowl. Add protein powder and mix well. Add honey, coconut oil and vanilla, mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Gently fold in dark chocolate chips. Form into balls and place on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Allow to set in the refrigerator for an hour.
