GREEN/BLUE: 2 Smartpoints per serving
PURPLE: 2 Smartpoints for serving or 2 servings for 3 Smartpoints
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 Devotion Protein Powder– The Angel Food Cake Devotion Protein Powder
- Cinnamon
- Low point peanut butter -I like to use American Dream Nut Butters or Better’n Peanut Butter Peanut Butter
- Honey
- Almond or vanilla extract
- 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 smartpoints 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.
The other brand I LOVE and RECOMMEND is American Dream Nut Butters. These nut butters are low in points and are amazing!! I have loved the every flavor!

Where can I get protein powder? Can I substitute flour instead? Will change points probably
I don’t recommend using flour in place of the protein powder. You can use any brand of protein powder. My favorite and the one I recommend is Devotion. ( angel food cake flavor) you can get online and save 10% off your order with promo code PD10. Here’s a link for to their website:

Delicious! Just what i needed to squelch my naggin chocolate/peanut butter crave. I added the shredded coconut and it was perfect. Will def make again.
That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing! Glad to hear it was delicious!
We made these today – and OMG – soooooo gooood!!! Question, how big do you make your balls? Do you measure them? Thank you!
Hi Margaret!
Thank you for your amazing review. I usually use a Tablespoon to scoop and measure the bites!
Hope that helps. Thank you so much!
Not sure what I did wrong, but these were so crumbly, it was really difficult to shape them into balls. I even used 5 Tbsp of almond milk. They kept breaking apart in my hands and sticking to my hands. Had to keep washing my hands after every 2 balls to stop the sticking and crumbling. I only got 16 of them out of the recipe. They taste good, though!
Hi Ali,
What brand of peanut butter did you use? That can make the biggest difference in binding the ingredients together?
I used Adams brand as I’ve never seen Jiff Whipped Peanut Butter here (Ontario, Canada). So that may have been the issue?
These No Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bites are an all time favorite at my house Thanks for sharing 🙂
Is it ONE protein ball per serving?
Yes, it is.
Thank you
