Ingredient Notes

When it comes to making monster energy cookie bites there are many different ingredient lists out there. I found these ingredients best suited our family’s taste buds best. For this recipe you’ll need:

• Old Fashioned Oats – A whole grain packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber!
• Peanut Butter – Filled with protein and potassium!
• Collagen Or Vanilla Protein Powder – Collagen improves hair, skin, and nail health while protein will help build and maintain muscle mass. You choose what you’d like to use!
• Agave Syrup – Sticky sweetener that helps bond these protein balls together as well as sweeten them up!
• Mini Chocolate Chips – Add in whatever you like, milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate!
• Mini M&M’s – You could use regular size M&M’s but I prefer using the minis.

Other healthy add-ins can include:

• Chia Seeds
• Flax Seeds
• Wheat Germ
• Shredded Coconut
• Peanut Butter Flavored Protein Powder
• Nut Butter
• Almond Butter
• Nuts
• Dried Fruit

If adding things such as nuts and dried fruit, you can use a food processor to chop them up into smaller pieces.
