Chocolate Peanut Almond Protein Bites

I was looking for an easy recipe for Protein Bites that had no added sugar.  I looked at some recipes and modified into the one below.  This is great for post workout recovery or pre-workout energy.  Just don't go chowing down on these because of the high fat content.  I would say a serving size would be about 2-3.

INGREDIENTS:

2 T of Unsweetend Cocoa Powder
1/4C of Splenda
2 T of Flax seeds
Large Handful of Raw Almonds
1/4C Water
1/4C Natural Peanut Butter or any nut butter of your choosing (no added oils or sugar)
2 Scoops of your favorite flavor Protein Powder

DIRECTIONS:

1. Using a coffee grinder grind almonds into a powder
2. Combine splenda and water and set aside
3. Combine all remaining ingredients and splenda water in a large bowl
4. Mix until you have a nice dough
5. Using a teaspoon or a tablespoon to make bite sized balls
6. Freeze for an hour or two then store in a airtight container in the fridge
