Gingerbread Cookie Protein Bites

Festive, sweet, and such a fun treat! I love these Gingerbread Cookie Protein Bites for a healthy protein snack that’s perfect for the holiday season. The flavors of a warm gingerbread cookie topped with white chocolate icing, but turned into a healthy, everyday snack – it doesn’t get any better than that! Make a big batch of these easy bites and keep them in the fridge for healthy snacking all week.

Gingerbread Cookie Protein Bites Recipe

These Gingerbread Cookie Protein Bites are SO easy to make and one of my current favorite snacks! They’re perfect for pre or post-workouts, snacking throughout the day, and taking on-the-go. Just mix the “dough” in a mixing bowl, roll into balls, coat in the white chocolate topping, and freeze to set. Then store them in the fridge! SO easy. These sweet treats are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and festive!
