A delicious brownie that treats your tastebuds and supports your wellness goals? Yes, please.
As someone who prioritizes health without sacrificing enjoyment, I’m always on the lookout for snacks and desserts that feel indulgent but support my body, especially my skin, joints, and energy. So when I came across Prime Bites Protein Brownies, I was intrigued. A brownie with 19 grams of protein, 5 grams of collagen, a moist, fudgy texture and fairly low in added sugars? That definitely caught my attention.
After trying several flavors and incorporating them into my daily routine, I’m ready to share my honest thoughts. Here's my product review.
What Are Prime Bites Protein Brownies?
Prime Bites are individually wrapped high-protein brownies created by Alpha Prime. Each brownie is:
- Generously sized (my husband and I sometimes split one)
- Packed with 19g of whey protein
- Enriched with 5g of collagen
- Low in added sugars, sweetened using a blend of erythritol and other sweeteners
- Around 200–240 calories, depending on the flavor
- Available in fun dessert-inspired flavors: As of this writing (July 2, 2025), the flavor choices are:
- Peanut Butter Candy Crunch
- Glazed Cinnamon Roll
- Glazed Chocolate Donut
- Chocolate Cookie Monster
- Cookies & Cream Blondie
- Banana Nut
- Cookie Dough
- Blueberry Cobbler
- Birthday Cake Blondie
- Red Velvet
- PB&J
- Variety Pack
- Crafted in small batches in the company's Miami bakery for quality control
- Absolutely delicious!
These aren’t dry, chalky protein bars pretending to be brownies. They’re surprisingly soft and satisfying.
What I Love About These Protein Brownies
Excellent Texture and Flavor
I was honestly surprised by how moist and rich these brownies are. (They're even better after a quick 10-second warm-up in the microwave.) The texture is soft and slightly dense, much like a traditional fudge brownie. My husband and I have enjoyed all the flavors we have tried so far: Glazed Chocolate Donut, Chocolate Cookie Monster, Banana Nut, Cookie Dough, and Red Velvet brownies. (The Banana Nut isn't quite as indulgent as the other flavors we've tried.)
These taste like indulgent bakery treats, minus the sugar crash. They’re especially good when you’re craving something comforting but want to stay on track.
Packed With Protein and Collagen
Getting enough protein, especially as we age and lose muscle, can be a challenge. The combination of whey protein and collagen makes these brownies more than just a snack; they’re also nutritionally beneficial. I love knowing that I’m supporting my skin, joints, and lean muscle while indulging in something that tastes like dessert.
For those of us over 50, this collagen boost is especially welcome, since natural collagen production declines with age and affects everything from skin firmness, hair health and nail health to bone health.
Portability and Convenience
Each brownie is individually wrapped, which makes it easy to throw one into a handbag, gym bag, or even your car’s center console for a mid-day boost. They don’t melt or crumble, and they are much more delicious and feel more satisfying than typical protein bars.
A Few Things to Consider
Flavor Preferences Vary
Some flavors lean sweeter than others, and a few have a noticeable sugar-alcohol aftertaste. If you're sensitive to erythritol or similar sweeteners, you might want to sample one or two before buying a full box.
Not Budget-Friendly
These come in boxes of 12 individually wrapped protein brownies. At around $3–$3.50 per brownie, these are on the pricier side, but you are paying for high-quality protein, added collagen, and convenience, as well as supporting a small business.
I try to wait for a promo code or sale and stock up on the flavors we love.
Nutrition Snapshot
Per brownie (approximate):
- Calories: 200–240
- Protein: 19g
- Collagen: 5g
- Added Sugar: ~4–11g
- Net Carbs: 7–14g (varies by flavor)
- Sweeteners: Erythritol, allulose, and others
Where to Buy
I find the best promos are usually directly from the brand's website, where you can also create a custom assortment box with four flavors of your choice. You can also order the Brownie Variety Pack that includes all the flavors for you to try.
I love these brownies (and the brand new muffins) so much that I became an affiliate partner. You can save 15% when you order Prime Bites Protein Brownies through my affiliate link.
Now through July 4, 2025, there's a Buy Two Boxes, Get One Box Free promo on the website!

Final Thoughts
I’ve tried dozens of high protein snacks and desserts over the years, and most have been too dry, too chalky, lacking in taste, texture, or both. But Prime Bites Protein Brownies stand out. They satisfy my sweet tooth, deliver meaningful nutrition, and support my healthy aging goals with that bonus dose of collagen.
If you're looking for a protein-rich treat that aligns with your skincare and wellness routine, these are absolutely worth trying—especially when you want a little indulgence without the guilt.
We're always unsure of what to have when we need a snack. These brownies sound like a good option, Margaret.
