Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookie Dough Protein Bites

Description

Soft strawberry cookie dough protein bites have a smooth texture with real strawberry pieces inside and a rich chocolate coating in every bite. Freeze dried strawberries in the dough create a naturally sweet and slightly tart flavor that keeps them balanced. Protein powder and almond flour create a satisfying dough without anything overly processed. Made with simple ingredients and no additives or seed oils for a cleaner, better option.
