Buckeye Protein Bites

February 8, 2016

Buckeye Protein Bites

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to share a better-for-you treat that has been taking care of my sweet tooth lately.  These protein-packed goodies have much less fat, sugar and calories than the originals but taste delicious!  As always, they contain AboutTime all-natural protein powder, which is by far my favorite on the market!  You can use my promo code HAPPILYHUGHES for 25% off your order!  Here are my Buckeye Protein Bites:

    These look and sound so good! My boyfriend is so proud to be from Ohio, so I might have to make him a batch of these just to see him get a kick out of it. I’m looking forward to trying a batch of these for my training runs, too! Have you tried freezing them? I’m just curious if they freeze well. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    I’ve never made or eaten a buckeye but adding protein is brilliant. I work with people that make them often. Think they would be open to the suggestion?

  14. Chrissy @ Snacking in Sneakers says

    February 9, 2016 at 7:29 pm

    What a great idea! We’ve always had buckeyes as treats at Christmas time, I love the idea of healthier ones!

    Hi I’m coming over from Janelle’s post on these delicious little treats! I just had to have the recipe! I’m such a sucker for the duo of PB and chocolate! Pinning for later and also sharing this! Thanks!

    It is my humble belief that you can’t go wrong with chocolate + peanut butter. 😛 These look amazing!

    These look great! Chelsea had never heard of a buckeye so now I need to make these for her. Have you calculated the macros? I’d be interested to see the protein to calorie ratio.
