Coffee Protein Cheesecake Bites

These Coffee Protein Cheesecake Bites make a healthy dessert with benefits.  I don’t know about you, but I am in love with all things coffee flavored.  I used REBBL’s new Cold-Brew Coffee Protein coconut milk elixir to make this healthy dessert.  They have 3 new delicious flavors now. You can see them below.

While most protein drinks use processed ingredients, REBBL’s protein elixirs use protein sourced from peas and sunflower.  I love that.  All the ingredients are real, organic, fair trade, and gluten free.   So this is a dessert you can feel good about eating.

I actually found myself snacking on them after my workout the other day. I had just come home after a great workout. Of course a mom never gets a break and I’m sure you could relate. My kids wanted lunch, and my husband needed some help too, not to mention I was starving!

These little snacks came to the rescue. With it’s protein, healthy fats, it was a great post-workout treat. I ate one of these and dove back into life. It was a really satisfying snack.

Each bottle of Cold-Brew protein contains 12 grams of protein, healthy fats and super herbs: maca, reishi, and ashwaganda.  The maca is great post workout because it enhances energy levels and the ashwaganda is great post workout since it helps with quick recovery.

• Maca: Used to support healthy energy levels, stamina & endurance, and healthy hormone balance.
• Reishi: Used to support liver protection & detoxification, cardiovascular health, and healthy aging.
• Ashwaganda: Used to support sustained physical endurance, improves cognitive function, quick recovery and enhanced relaxation.

Another great thing about REBBL is that they donate 2.5% of revenue to Not For Sale to support regions of the world which are vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. So each time you buy a bottle or REBBL, you are helping to take a stand against this issue.
