Easy and healthy Low Carb Cookie Dough Protein Balls made with a cashew butter, vanilla protein powder, and studded with cacao nibs! No bake cookie dough protein bites are perfect for a Keto, Vegan and Gluten free snack, high protein dessert or energy boost.

I really have not been feeling the oven recently so these no bake desserts and snacks might just flood up my feed for a bit.

Raw Cookie dough protein bites as a no bake is probably the closest Iā€™m going to get to thing that resembled a baked good right now.

Instead of using chocolate chips though, I made these protein balls with cacao nibs ā€“ raw nutrition and extra crunch too! 

How to store Cacao Nibs Cashew Butter Protein Balls

These chocolate chip cookie energy balls are best stored in the fridge since they do have a bit of milk in there.

Keep the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

This recipe for keto bites is freezer friendly too!

Place the little gingerbread energy bites in an airtight sealed container and they should be good for 2-3 months. Be sure to let them thaw on the counter before eating!
