Who else is a peanut butter + chocolate lover? I honestly don’t think there is a combo more and dear to my heart. I grew up devouring Reese’s cups like it was my goddamn job. So as i’ve gotten older and transitioned away from most processed foods, I was searching for a way to recreate this classic combo with real ingredients.
Enter these healthy homemade Reese’s bites, which taste just like the real thing. The only difference: they’re made with just five clean and simple ingredients, as well as being vegan, refined sugar free, and packed with plant-based protein.
I used Aloha vegan protein – it has the cleanest ingredients I’ve found for protein, with no additives or artificial sweeteners, and now has MCT oil for natural energy and endurance.
