Confession: I have a major sweet tooth. In order to curb “need it now” cravings, I plan ahead to have more mindful treats on hand, like these No-Bake Coffee Nut Protein Brownie Bites.

This easy protein bite recipe is a quick-to-fix snack that requires absolutely no baking and only about 10 minutes of your time to prep.

These rich and satisfying chocolate treat seems so decadent – but it’s actually a low carb brownie bite that is loaded with protein. Ingredients like Clean Lean Protein Powder in Real Coffee Flavor, your nut butter of choice (I used walnut butter) and a load of chopped mixed nuts boost each brownie ball with more than 7g protein to help keep you satiated.

I’m a big fan of the Clean Lean Protein Powder line from Nuzest – it’s plant-based protein powder that works for all types of dietary eating patterns including vegan, paleo, and raw diets. Suitable for anyone from busy parents to elite athletes and everyone in between who is looking for an amazing protein powder that is non-GMO, has no preservatives or artificial stuff, no added sugar, and is free from allergens. Lots of flavors too, the Real Coffee just was an amazing choice for this protein brownie bite recipes.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup raw, unsalted nuts a mixture of walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pecans or whatever you like. There is no wrong answer here.
• ½ tsp. sea salt
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup nut butter of choice I used walnut butter, but peanut butter, almond butter, etc. will also work fine.
• ¼ cup zero-carb granulated sweetener that measures cup-for-cup with table sugar
• 3 scoops coffee-flavorted protein powder 75g or about 6 tablespoons Clean Lean Protein, Real Coffee Flavor
• 2 tsp. instant espresso powder optional, just if you’d like that caffeine energy boost
• ¼ cup fine-ground almond flour more or less, as needed
• 2 tablespoons water more or less as needed

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a food processor add the walnuts and sea salt. Process on high for 5 to 10 seconds, or until the nuts are broken up into small pieces.
2. Add the cocoa powder, nut butter, zero-carb sweetener, protein powder and espresso powder (optional) Process until well combined and batter starts coming together. Add almond flour or water, one tablespoon at a time, as needed to achieve the right consistency. The mixture should be somewhat crumbly, but holds together when smooshed.
3. Roll the dough between the palms of your hand to form in 18 bite-sized balls, place on baking sheet.
4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until firm and enjoy!
5. Store in fridge for up to a week, or keep in freezer for longer term storage.
