What ingredients do I need to make these protein bites?

• Old fashioned 100% whole grain oats-I don’t recommend using quick oats. They don’t have the same texture like the old fashioned oats do.
• Protein powder– I like to use Clean Simple Eats Protein Powder save 10% off with promo code: POUNDDROPPER
• Cinnamon
• Low point peanut butter -I like to use  Better’n Peanut Butter Peanut Butter. You could use PB2 powder or a smashed banana as a substitute for peanut butter.
• Honey
• Almond or vanilla extract
• No Sugar chocolate chips: Lily’s (no sugar added) Dark Chocolate Chip , Lily’s no sugar added white chocolate chips, or Lakanto no sugar added chocolate chips
• Unsweetened coconut -optional, points are the same with or without it
• Unsweetened almond milk

What low point peanut or nut butter do you recommend?

Well, my two favorite whipped peanut butters Jif Whips and Peter Pan 1/3 less fat whipped have both been discontinued-but I have since found a few other brands that I LOVE!

This Better’n Peanut Butter Peanut Butter is only 100 calories, 3 WW points for 2 Tablespoons, 4 grams of protein, and is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Palm Oil Free, and Kosher.

You can find it online on Amazon HERE.
