Enjoy Life Chocolate Protein Bites have received a big ingredient makeover, and are now available in four chocolaty flavors. The selection includes two reformulated favorites and two brand new varieties, all vegan, gluten-free, allergy-friendly, and non-GMO project verified.
If there is one company in pursuit of perfection, it’s Enjoy Life Foods. They’re constantly looking for ways to make their snacks even tastier and accessible to even more special diet consumers. And I think they’ve achieved sweet success with the new line-up of Chocolate Protein Bites.
What Are Enjoy Life Chocolate Protein Bites?
Think of a decadent truffle colliding with wholesome protein balls, and you have Enjoy Life Chocolate Protein Bites. Each flavor has a soft, cocoa-rich center infused with top allergen-free protein. The core is robed in a thick layer of their dairy-free dark chocolate and spiked with finely chopped seeds for a little textural interest. They’re generously sized, and you get to enjoy three in a serving.
These virtuous truffles are both treat- and snack-worthy, and pack perfectly into purses or lunchboxes. I recommend them for kids and adults!
How Have the Chocolate Protein Bites Changed?
First, they swapped in sunflower seed protein for a smoother finish. The centers were a little dry and powdery before, but those days are gone. The finish is now seamless and the texture has a pleasant softness. But they still have 6 grams of protein per serving.
Second, they are now palm oil free. And I think they are a bit creamier since each bite is rich in cocoa butter instead!
The improved formula can be enjoyed in their classic Sunseed Butter and Cinnamon Spice flavors, and in their brand new Dipped Banana and Dark Raspberry flavors.
How Do Enjoy Life Chocolate Protein Bites Taste?
Well we thought they tasted pretty darn good! Each flavor is rich and chocolaty, yet they assert their own flavor identities in the soft filling.
Dark Raspberry (New!) – This variety had one of the softest fillings and it was generously spiked with dried raspberries. The fruity flavor melded perfectly with the rich cocoa backdrop, and I liked that it tasted like a treat, but wasn’t too sweet.
Dipped Banana (New!) – I thought the soft chewy core tasted just like a chocolate-covered banana infusion. This flavor was the most “fun” in our opinions.
Cinnamon Spice (Improved!) – The chocolate takes center stage in this flavor, but warm bursts of cinnamon explode onto the scene with every bite.
Sunseed Butter (Improved!) – Thanks to the added richness from the seed butter, this one was my favorite flavor. It was just a little more grown-up and had that delicious chocolate depth for a hint of indulgence.

About the Ingredients in Enjoy Life Chocolate Protein Bites
Like all Enjoy Life products, these truffle-like bites are made free of the top allergens – dairy, eggs, gluten / wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, and shellfish. But they are also free of lupin, mustard, sulfites, and sesame.
I think many of you will love that they are pea-free, too! Unlike many brands, Enjoy Life doesn’t use pea protein. And as mentioned above, these chocolate protein bites are also palm oil-free.
The Chocolate Protein Bites are also Certified Gluten-Free, Certified Vegan, Certified Kosher Pareve, and Non-GMO Project Verified.

i love their new and improved version and the raspberries ones are insane! it’s like a little chocolate truffle-like you mentioned.
Enjoy Life Foods is seriously such a lifesaver for so many families. Now that I have a little one in school, I know I can count on products like this to be safe and enjoyable for everyone 🙂
Yes, they are really filling a niche for all school safe needs too!
Love all your photos with this post Alisa. I’ve been enjoying all our Protein Bites from ELF and each of us have a favorite flavor. I really enjoy the dark raspberry, my son loves the dipped banana and my daughter likes the sunseed. SO glad there’s a flavor for all of us.
Thanks Nicole! Sounds like you have to buy the variety pack 🙂 I’ll eat the cinnamon spice for you guys.
Oh wowzers, they look heavenly! I am totally in love with them already.
They are such an awesome snack Trinity!
I’m excited about trying these new and improved protein bites from Enjoy Life! They are great for on the go snacking!
Definitely – though I seem to be devouring them in my at-home snacking with tea 🙂
Your review is spot on! I recently tried these protein bites and they are delicious!
Thanks Amanda – glad to know I got it right 🙂
The new flavors sound so good, especially the raspberry!
That is a really neat flavor.
How cute and yummy are those! It’s so exciting to see packaged snacks like this start to become available. I’ll have to watch for these in my area.
Right? I find snacking the biggest challenge.
I am loving the protein bites! Sunseed butter is our fave but they’re all quite good.
That’s how I feel about the flavors too – all good, but that Sunseed shines.
Those look really good. I like the quality ingredients they’re using. Is there a sweetener of some sort included?
Yes, they do use cane sugar. I have all of the ingredients listed here -> https://www.godairyfree.org/product-reviews/enjoy-life-proburst-bites
I love the combination of the yummy coating and filling in these protein bites! So good!
Agreed, they’re delicious!
Love how they are always working on making their products better both in taste and in their environmental impact. The new flavours sound great!
Right? As if the allergy-friendly aspect isn’t enough. They just keep reaching higher. I believe these are available in Canada, too, Kortney.
Enjoy Life is a big hit with my daughter! Looks like she has more to try!
If she likes their chocolate, then these will be a hit!
These look so yummy! I’ll have to look for them when I go to the grocery store today.
Yes, you must! Those new teal packages should be everywhere now 🙂
I’m glad they ditched the palm oil! I’d like to try all of the flavors. They look delish. And my kids would love these for snacks at school!
Yes, that was a big move for them I think!
