Mocha Bites
These bites are a great pick me up! Obviously the coffee in them helps rev your energy, but the protein and carbs from the high quality protein mix makes the difference. Then, you add in cocoa powder and you’ve got a delicious snack or dessert that is truly super healthy for you.
When, I made these I ate one right away as usual, to make sure they tasted as good as they looked and I was right. Then, to keep them fresh I put them in the refrigerator and they firmed up and tasted just as fantastic! I love it when a great idea for a quick and easy snack pops in my head and turns out super scrumptious.
One of the reasons these bits are so great, is that they are super quick to make. When, making these bites, you can use regular brewed coffee, but you will have to let it completely cool in the refrigerator before making these bites. Or they will not turn out quite as good. Or, you could just use cold brewed coffee. Also, keep in mind that these are not super sweet, so if you like a really sweet treat than I’d suggest adding a tsp of stevia or coconut sugar to the Mocha Bite mixture and / or to the cocoa powder that you roll them in. Either way these are super yummy!
