S’more Protein Bites | A High-Protein Treat That Tastes Like Dessert

S’more Protein Bites | A High-Protein Treat That Tastes Like Dessert

If you’ve got a sweet tooth like I do, you know that fruit or yogurt just won’t cut it. When that craving hits, it’s chocolate and peanut butter or nothing. That’s exactly why I created these S’more Protein Bites—packed with high-quality ingredients, satisfying texture, and just the right mix of indulgence and nutrition.

These aren’t just trendy little bites. They’re real fuel. Each one delivers a balanced mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs to satisfy cravings and keep your energy steady.

Why I Love These S’more Protein Bites

As a fitness pro and two-time breast cancer survivor, I’ve learned how important it is to find healthy alternatives that actually feel like a treat. These bites give me everything I’m after—rich flavor, a satisfying bite, and clean, macro-friendly ingredients. Whether you’re in training mode or just want something sweet that won’t throw you off track, they hit the spot.

And of course, I had to make them with my favorite flavor combo: chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow. Because S’mores aren’t just for summer. They’re for anytime you want something that tastes nostalgic—but supports your goals.

What Protein Powder Works Best?

I used Beverly International’s UMP Protein Powder in Graham Cracker flavor for this recipe. It mixes beautifully, tastes incredible, and bakes well—making it a staple in my kitchen. You can use Chocolate or Vanilla UMP too, depending on what you have on hand. If you’re using Chocolate or Vanilla, add 1/4 cup of crushed graham cracker to bring in that classic S’mores flavor.

Tools and Tips

For a smooth cookie-dough-like texture, I recommend tossing your oats and flaxseed in a food processor first. It makes a big difference in how these roll and taste. If you like a little more chew, you can skip this step and mix everything by hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed
  • 1 serving UMP Protein Powder (Graham Cracker, Chocolate, or Vanilla)
  • 2 graham cracker sheets, crumbled
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or blender, pulse oats and flaxseed until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add protein powder, peanut butter, and honey. Mix well until a dough forms.
  3. Fold in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to roll into 1-inch balls.
  5. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
  6. Store in the fridge or freezer for up to two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About S’more Protein Bites

What makes these S’more Protein Bites healthy?

These bites are made with nutrient-dense ingredients—whole oats, flaxseed, natural peanut butter, and high-quality protein powder. Unlike store-bought snacks filled with added sugars or processed fillers, these deliver a balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats to help curb cravings and support muscle recovery.

How much protein is in each S’more Protein Bite?

Each bite contains approximately 3 grams of protein, depending on the brand and flavor of protein powder used. That makes them a great small snack or sweet add-on to boost your overall protein intake throughout the day.

What protein powder should I use for this recipe?

I recommend UMP Protein Powder from Beverly International in Graham Cracker, Chocolate, or Vanilla. UMP has a rich flavor and creamy texture that blends perfectly in no-bake recipes. If you don’t have graham cracker flavor, use Chocolate or Vanilla and mix in crushed graham crackers for that classic s’mores taste.

Can I make these without protein powder?

You can, but the texture and macros will change. If you omit the protein powder, you’ll need to slightly increase the oats and reduce the honey to maintain consistency. Keep in mind you’ll lose the muscle-building benefits that protein powder adds.

Can I use plant-based or vegan protein powder?

Yes, but it may affect both texture and taste. Plant-based powders tend to be more absorbent and gritty. If using one, you might need to add a splash of almond milk or increase the honey slightly to help the dough come together. Look for a smooth, dessert-flavored plant protein if possible.

Are these S’more Protein Bites gluten-free?

They can be if you use certified gluten-free oats and graham crackers. Always check labels to ensure all your ingredients meet gluten-free standards.

Are these safe for kids?

Yes. These are made with wholesome, real-food ingredients and no artificial sweeteners. They’re a great way to sneak a little extra protein into your child’s snack time—just be mindful of peanut allergies.

Can I make these protein bites nut-free?

Absolutely. Swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini. The flavor will change slightly, but the consistency will still work. Make sure to use allergy-friendly chocolate chips and marshmallows if needed.

How long do these last in the fridge?

Store these bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just let them thaw a few minutes before eating.

Can I freeze S’more Protein Bites?

Yes. These freeze really well. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a zip-top bag or container. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Do I need a food processor?

Not necessarily. I prefer using a food processor to break down the oats and flaxseed into a smoother dough—it gives these bites a cookie-dough-like consistency. But if you like more texture, you can mix everything by hand with great results.

What can I substitute for marshmallows or chocolate chips?

You can use chopped dark chocolate, mini white chips, or even a sprinkle of cacao nibs. If you want a lower-sugar option, try sugar-free chocolate chips or skip the marshmallows altogether and add extra graham cracker crumbs for crunch.

Can I eat these before or after a workout?

Yes, they work well for both. As a pre-workout, they offer quick energy from honey and carbs with just enough protein to support your session. As a post-workout snack, they help replenish glycogen and support muscle recovery, especially if paired with a protein shake or a full meal.

Are these considered clean eating?

Yes, in the sense that they’re made with whole-food ingredients and no artificial additives. They’re also portion-controlled and support your fitness goals without relying on processed snacks.

How many calories are in each protein bite?

Each ball has around 106 calories, depending on the exact ingredients and size. You can make smaller or larger bites to adjust calorie content as needed.

Can I make these lower in carbs or sugar?

To reduce carbs, try using a sugar-free sweetener like monk fruit syrup or powdered stevia with a bit of water instead of honey. Just note that the texture may be slightly different. You can also reduce the amount of chocolate chips and marshmallows if needed.

Final Thoughts

These S’more Protein Bites are proof that you don’t need to be extreme—just consistent. With the right ingredients and a little creativity, you can enjoy your favorite flavors while staying aligned with your goals.
