Chocolate-Dipped Pumpkin Protein Bites

September 26, 2018 Comments : 2

Jump to recipe

Pumpkin season is upon us and I’m excited to start finding ways to incorporate it in as many foods as possible. To be honest, I’m not much of a sweets person, so when I’m building a recipe I like to make sure it’s A) low in sugar and B) has added protein so it’s more filling and less filler.

Pumpkin Pie Protein Bites - Healthy Fall Dessert

When I was invited to create a recipe using Lindt CLASSIC RECIPE White Chocolate Bars and Lindt EXCELLENCE 70% Dark Chocolate Bars, I knew I was going to incorporate pumpkin…and came up with Chocolate-Dipped Pumpkin Protein Bites. To be honest, the protein bite is good on its own, but with the addition of the chocolate, it takes it to a new level! You can check out the Lindt Community here for more recipe inspiration.

These are so versatile, too, which makes them great to bring to a football tailgate party, a fall gathering or even to keep in your fridge when your sweet tooth strikes and you don’t want to wreck your diet! Without further ado, here’s the yummy recipe for these pumpkin protein bites.

Ingredients

  • Protein Bites
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain)
  • Topping
  • 2 sheets graham crackers
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 6 oz white/dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine liquid ingredients and blend well with a mixer.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir together.
  4. Add dry ingredients to liquids and mix until well blended.
  5. The mixture should resemble cookie dough and you should be able to form it into small balls at this point (I rubbed a bit of olive oil on my hands prior to rolling them).
  6. As you roll the balls, place them on the prepared cookie sheet. When you're done with this step, put the cookie sheet directly in the freezer to allow the bites to firm up for about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Before removing the bites from the freezer, go ahead and prepare your topping and melt the chocolate.
  8. Take two sheets of graham crackers and crush in a food processor along with pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  9. Place 6 ounces of your favorite chocolate bar in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 tsp coconut oil and microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  10. Remove protein bites from freezer and use a fork to begin dipping them into the melted chocolate. As soon as one is covered, top with crushed graham crackers. Since the bites are cold, the chocolate will harden quickly - so it's important to move quickly if you want the topping to stick!
  11. Store the protein bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container and enjoy!

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
