Why Women Love This High-Protein Dessert

For many women, balancing hormones, managing cravings, and hitting daily protein goals can feel like a juggling act. These Protein Cookie Dough Bites make it simple — they’re nutrient-dense, portion-controlled, and satisfy both the mind and the muscles.

Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels and supports lean muscle mass, which is key for long-term fat loss and metabolic health. Meanwhile, the slow carbs and fiber from oat flour keep your energy steady — no post-snack crash here.

Pro Tip: Pair these bites with your afternoon coffee or post-workout shake for a perfectly timed boost in recovery and satisfaction.

Supplement Spotlight

  • Whey Protein: Supports lean muscle growth and recovery.

  • PB2 Powder: Adds rich flavor and healthy fats without excess calories.

  • Creatine: (If you’re strength training) enhances performance, power output, and overall muscle tone — especially beneficial for women over 40.

    Don’t forget — creatine supports strength and recovery so you can push harder and recover faster

Let’s Talk Balance — Pre-Workout or Sweet Treat

Whether you’re heading to the gym or craving something sweet after dinner, these bites have your back.

  • Before a Workout: The perfect combo of carbs + protein to keep you energized and strong.
  • As a Dessert: A satisfying chocolate fix that fits your macros and goals.
