Hot Cocoa Protein Bites

These are like a cup of hot cocoa in protein-packed portable form!  Very easy to make and perfect for holiday snacks and parties.

Ingredients:

¾ cup creamy or crunchy unsalted natural almond butter, (thin drippy type, I used Trader Joes)
6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix (pre-sweetened type) or 2 individual sized packets
½ cup of protein powder, preferably unflavored (I used egg white protein)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

¼ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup mini marshmallows

Directions: 

In a medium sized bowl, combine the almond butter, hot chocolate mix, salt and mix well. Stir in protein powder, chocolate chips and marshmallows and mix some more. Roll into 14 balls. Store in the fridge. They also freeze well!
