Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites Ingredients

We kept this energy ball recipe super simple by limiting the ingredients to just 3! Why add more when you don’t need to. We didn’t add any extra sweeteners to these energy bites because the protein powder we used already contained stevia.

  • unsweetened creamy peanut butter
  • low carb protein powder
  • stevia sweetened chocolate chips

Pro tip #1: If you’re using an unsweetened and unflavored protein powder, you may want to add a few drops of stevia extract and a few drops of vanilla extra until you get desired sweetness and flavor.

Pro tip #2: When choosing your peanut butter, make sure that the ingredients label does not say sugar, honey or high fructose corn syrup. It’s best to choose a peanut butter that only ingredients say “peanuts” or “peanuts and salt.”

How to Make Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites Recipe

These super easy chocolate peanut butter energy balls are made in minutes! First, in a small bowl combine the creamy unsweetened peanut butter with the low carb protein powder. Chill for 15 minutes. Next roll the mixture into 8 balls. Then roll the balls into stevia sweetened chocolate chips. Finally store them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

How are protein bites different than fat bombs?

Protein bites are typically low in carbs and low to moderate in fat. They also contain a good bit of protein. Fat bombs on the other hand are low in carbs, low in protein and are high in fat. 

Fat bombs are typically higher in calories than protein bites. Fat bombs are used to increase the fat percentage in your diet without adding in a lot of additional protein and carbohydrates.

Protein bites on the other hand are used as an easy way to add protein to the diet without resorting to eating plain tilapia, chicken breasts or other super lean protein sources. This is commonly seen when people are trying to cut weight for bodybuilding competitions.

    Do you have a peanut butter brand suggestion? I have found one that says unsweetened

    Reply
    • Lara says

      I normally get ones from the deli section my local grocery store. The ingredients are usually just peanuts or peanuts and salt. Peanut Butter and Co has a good one and Barneys has a good one too that’s unsweetened.

    I don’t typically – or ever for that matter – use 4 tablespoons Quest Salted Caramel Protein Powder. I do, however, have whey isolate. Would it be a one for one substitution or not because Quest has other ingredients that would thicken the mixture up?

    Reply
    • Lara Clevenger says

      You may need just a tad bit more of your isolate because quest does have a little extra bulk from the sweeteners.
