Protein Power Bites


Protein Power Bites

Yesterday after my personal training sessions I decided to get a little creative in my kitchen.

 I came up with these delectable little pre or post-workout Power Bites!  Perfect little bite sized yummy healthy goodness!

Power packed with a great balance of complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein and healthy omega 3 fatty acids.  All natural ingredients, what's not to love.

Ingredients
So easy and no-bake, just chill in your fridge!  The boys had them for dessert last night after dinner.  They loved every bite.

I stored the leftover in a mason jar in the fridge.


Coconut
I only had Bob's Red Mill Unsweetened Flaked Coconut so I decided to run it through my cuisinart.  Now I have created desiccated coconut for my recipe!  Voila!
