S’Mores Protein Bites Recipe
Introduction
These S’Mores Protein Bites are a delicious and convenient twist on the classic campfire treat. Packed with protein and full of nostalgic flavors, they make a perfect snack for any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4 servings or 48 grams) marshmallow fluff
- 4 ounces fat-free cream cheese
- 40 grams PEScience Gourmet Vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 16 mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, add the marshmallow fluff, fat-free cream cheese, protein powder, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir or knead until a stiff dough forms; it will be thick and may require using your hands.
- Step 2: Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
- Step 3: For portion accuracy, weigh your dough in grams and divide by 16 to find the ideal size for each bite. If you don’t have a scale, simply divide the dough into 16 roughly equal pieces.
- Step 4: Take one mini marshmallow at a time and roll the dough around it, forming a bite-sized ball. Repeat until all marshmallows are covered, creating 16 protein bites.
- Step 5: Enjoy your homemade S’Mores Protein Bites as a tasty and portable snack!
Tips & Variations

- Refrigerate the dough first if it’s too sticky to handle easily.
- Use a food scale for precise portioning to keep your macros on track.
