“take 5” protein bites
in all honesty, i’ve never had a real “take 5”… but after making these, i’m not sure i need to. 😌🍫🥨
peanut butter, chocolate, crunchy pretzels, & gooey caramel energy — all packed into these protein bites made with BTR nation superfood peanut butter crunch bars, fit joy's grain-free peanut butter pretzel nuggets, & a rich further food's protein + LMNT salted caramel that brings it all together.
sweet, salty, crunchy, chocolatey… everything you want in a candy bar, just upgraded with more protein, fiber, no sugar, no gluten, & just better-for-you ingredients.
safe to say this recreation is an absolute knockout. 💥
