If you can’t already by now, I am a big fan of lemon! I love using lemon in my recipes. I am always making these protein bites for a healthy treat to snack on, and I decided I wanted to make a lemon flavored one. I’m seriously obsessed with these Lemon Protein Bits. Make it with me!

Lemon Protein Bites

This recipe is light, freshing, and lemony! It’s made with old fashioned oats, lemon zest, shredded coconut flakes, and coconut butter!

I saw this Coconut Almond Butter at Sprouts and I just knew I wanted to use it as a base in my next protein bite recipe. It’s delicious!

You can also use the Offbeat Foods Lemon Coconut Bliss Butter!

Or can substitute it for regular almond butter and lemon extract and it’ll still be divine!

What are protein bites?

These protein bites save me on busy weeks! They are sweet, chewy, and totally irresistible. Plus, they are low calorie, high protein, so there is nothing to feel guilty about!
