Meal Prep Protein Bite Snack Box! Snacking doesn’t get easier than 3 ingredient no bake protein bites paired with fresh veggies. The perfect on the go snack boxes you can take with you anywhere!
You guys have been asking for snack inspiration so today you’re getting it in meal prep form! Meal Prep Protein Bite Snack Box! Snacking doesn’t get easier than pairing 3 ingredient protein bites with veggies.
The protein bites are as simple as mixing peanut butter (or any nut butter) with your favorite protein powder with a dash of cinnamon and rolling into protein bites!
I pulsed a few almonds in a blender and rolled the balls over them so they would have a little crunch. Not required, but highly recommended! Then paired them with celery and tomatoes.
Any green vegetable works to pair the protein balls with. The point of the snack boxes is to increase fiber, protein and healthy fat. Three things that increase fullness, satisfaction and decrease cravings.
Put them in meal prep containers to take with you on the go. Snack on a few in the morning and few more in the afternoon, or all at once!
I work from home, and I still prep them so I don’t have to think about what I’m eating. I just grab a container and head upstairs to my desk to get to work.
A meal prep tip! Double the recipe and prep a bunch at once so you have two to three weeks worth. They’ll stay good in the refrigerator or freezer up to a month! Happy snacking!

Nutrition
Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.
They turn out very dry and crumbly. Very hard to form into balls.
If you found it difficult to form into balls, the wet content was off. With energy balls, there is a bit of finesse that you have to do as all peanut butters and protein powders are not equal. If your dough was crumbly, then adding 1-2 tbsp of water to the batter to get it sticky always helps. Sometimes you have to add more. It just depends on your protein powder and peanut butter.
