Are protein bites good for you?

Yes—when made with real, whole ingredients, protein bites are a smart snack. These cookie dough protein bites offer a balanced combo of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They're great for stabilizing blood sugar, curbing cravings, and keeping energy levels steady between meals.

How long do cookie dough protein bites last?

In an airtight container, they’ll last up to 7 days in the fridge. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months . Just thaw at room temp for 10 minutes before eating. This makes them a great prep-ahead option for busy weeks.

Can you freeze protein energy bites?

Absolutely. Freeze them flat on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. This prevents sticking and helps maintain shape. When you're ready to snack, pull a few out and let them soften on the counter for a few minutes.

What is the best protein powder for no-bake recipes?

Go for powders with a smooth texture and minimal additives. Whey isolate or a high-quality plant blend (like pea and brown rice) work best. Avoid powders with a lot of gums or artificial sweeteners—they’ll mess up the texture and flavor.
