What this recipe is
These are small, no-bake protein bites designed for quick energy without a sugar spike. They’re rich, satisfying, and easy to portion — perfect when you want something snacky but not overly sweet.
Why it works
Natural peanut butter provides healthy fats and flavor, while protein powder and flour give structure and staying power. Because they’re no-bake, they come together fast and keep well for days.

Tips & Swaps
- Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter if needed
