We love these almond butter protein bites for peanut-free, easy snacks for elementary kids. Great for lunches and snacks.
Easy Cookie Dough Protein Bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal Quick cooking works best but we've used old fashioned as well.

- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup protein powder vanilla We have also had success using chocolate protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt our favorite is kosher salt
- 1/3 cup m&ms or mini chocolate chips Or both. You can also add more or less depending on your taste.

- Mix with your hands, it really is easier this way.
