They are sweet, slightly tart, chocolatey, and packed with nourishing ingredients that actually do something for your body. Think fudgy centre, pops of raspberry, a hint of crunch from chia, and a smooth dark chocolate shell that snaps when you bite into it. Heaven. 💕

As always in true Blended Bites style, these are:

No bake
Naturally sweetened
Protein boosted
Refined sugar free
Perfect for meal prep
And yes… they taste like dessert.

Why You Will Love These

Raspberries bring that vibrant berry flavour and a natural tartness that balances the richness of dark chocolate beautifully. They are also packed with antioxidants and fibre – so you are getting more than just flavour.

Chia seeds add texture, fibre, omega-3s, and help bind everything together naturally. They may be tiny, but they are little nutrition powerhouses.

And then we add protein powder to turn these into a proper snack – not just a sweet treat. The protein helps support muscle repair, keeps you fuller for longer, and balances blood sugar so you are not reaching for more sugar 30 minutes later.

These bites are perfect:

✔ Post-workout
✔ Afternoon slump
✔ Lunchbox treat
✔ After-dinner something sweet
✔ Straight from the freezer when cravings hit

Why These Work So Well

It’s all about balance.

You have got:

Healthy fats ✔
Fibre ✔
Protein ✔
Natural sweetness ✔
Antioxidants ✔

So instead of a blood sugar spike and crash, you get steady energy and satisfaction.

These are not about restriction – they are about upgrading your treats. Taking something you love and making it nourishing, satisfying, and aligned with your goals.

Because you can absolutely have chocolate… you just make it smarter. ✨

Ingredients

Raspberry Protein Centre

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries (lightly crushed) or finely chopped fresh raspberries (patted dry)
• 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavoured protein powder
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons nut butter (almond or cashew work beautifully)
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
• 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1-2 tablespoons almond milk (as needed for texture)
• Pinch sea salt

Chocolate Coating

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

Raspberry Protein Centre

• In a bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, crushed freeze-dried (or fresh) raspberries, and sea salt.

  Stir in nut butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until a dough forms. If it feels too dry, add a little almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together.

  Roll into 12-14 small bite-sized balls or press into small squares. Place on a lined tray.

  Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Chocolate Coating 

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Working quickly,using two forks, dip each chilled bite into the bowl of melted chocolate until it is fully coated. Lift the bite from the bowl of chocolate and let any excess drip off, then place it onto a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining bites.

  Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 

  Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, then chill until chocolate has set.

  You can drizzle extra chocolate over the top for that bakery-style finish.

  Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate is firm.

  Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months. They are especially delicious slightly chilled  - the chocolate has the perfect snap.

  Blended Bites Tips💡

  Use freeze-dried raspberries for a stronger berry flavour without excess moisture.

  Swap raspberries for strawberries if that’s what you have.

  Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for extra brightness.

  Want more protein? Add an extra tablespoon of protein powder and balance with a little extra liquid.

   For a coconut twist, stir 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut into the base.
