You Will Love These Moist, Delicious, Low Sugar Protein Brownies

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.

The Best Moist, Delicious, Low Sugar Protein Brownies

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.

If you prefer to order Prime Bites Protein Brownies on Amazon, you can. You can also sign up for a Subscribe & Save subscription on Amazon.

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.

Hooray, Today is National Brownie Day and Time to Celebrate!- A Recipe Review

Come celebrate with me!

Today is National Brownie Day and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to get out the mixer and fix my family up with some ooey, gooey, good BROWNIES!

National Brownie Day - Brownie recipe in cookbook

I think the thing I like the most about BROWNIES, is that they can be a very plain (but still delicious) dessert, or you can dress them up in so many different ways to make them look picture perfect for any company you may have.

Did you know that the first brownies recipes were published around the turn of the century about 1904. They were part of regional cookbooks and often found in newspapers. That is a pretty long history if you ask me. And they are still favorites all around the country. Chocolate brownies are number one with "Blondie" Brownies coming a close second.

What's a Blondie? Let's set the record straight, it has nothing to do with Hair! Blondies are cousins to Brownies, just made without the chocolate, hence the lighter color and name!

Did you know that there are several myths about where Brownies first came into being? One myth has a baker accidentally mixing liquid chocolate in a biscuit recipe. Oh happy accident if that is the way it happened. Another myth is that someone making a chocolate cake forgot to add the flour to the recipe and then there's the one of the housewife who ran out of baking powder and decided to serve her guests "flattened cake". This last one is my personal favorite because I have been known to do without certain ingredients and adding others in their stead, when making a recipe. Sometimes it works and sometimes it is a disaster.

But let's get back to the good stuff. Brownies are a favorite in most families and I know from past experience that they are wonderful sellers at any "Bake Sale." Simple brownies are just made in the pan and cut up. Dressing your brownies up with frosting and sprinkles or nuts can give the lowly brownie a very dressed up, decadent appearance suitable for any company!

You can also find many recipes for Brownies and some of the best are the ones that have been shared in regional cookbooks and simple cookbooks put together for School or Church fundraisers. You know you are getting tried and true recipes from these sources. It's a matter of pride for the bakers who attach their name to the recipe!

So no further stalling, here is a great recipe that I have used and loved!

Originally found on Ricardocuisine,com:

INGREDIENTS

6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
optional ingredients can include chopped walnuts, chopped hazelnuts, broken pieces of candy canes, mini marshmallows (either the plain or fruit flavoured)

DIRECTIONS

Oven rack should be in the middle part of the oven pre-heated to 350 F.
Butter or spray with non-stick spray the bottom of an 8 inch square baking dish. Use parchment paper and let the excess hang over the sides of your baking dish.
Using a bowl, over a pan of boiling water, or alternately in the microwave oven, melt chocolate and butter. Let cool.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar and salt with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. Add chocolate/butter mixture and flour and stir until smooth. Pour this all into the prepared pan.
Baking time about 23 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out just a little bit moist (If it is dry you will have very dry brownies and should use icing to get some moisture back into the mix)
Let cool in the pan and place the pan on a rack. It will take about 1.5 hours. Remove from pan and cut into squares. Or if you want to get really artistic, you can cut them into any desired shape and eat the extra pieces from between! Serve warm or cold.

These are plain brownies with great taste and nice presentation. But, and this is a big BUT, you can add other ingredients to this basic brownie recipe to make something even more special! Add chopped nuts, or marshmallows (the little mini ones), crushed peppermints are a great add too, or leave the recipe as is and make an icing for them. The combinations are endless and each will have a slightly different flavor when you are done.

All I know is that your family will enjoy this treat and you just might find yourself making them more than once in a while.

These days I make these brownies for the family, but, I myself will not indulge. I will make the recipe that our own Margaret Schindel has finessed to fit with my Keto Lifestyle! So I still get to have some Brownie fun without all the carbs! You can find her recipe right here: and a whole lot more.

Now I'm going to make another suggestion for all of you! If you have children, grandchildren, nieces and/or nephews, invite them over to share all these wonderful Brownies you've made and then spend the afternoon writing letters to SANTA!

Did you know that you could write to SANTA, send your letter in the mail and get a response from him and all it will cost you is the time to write the letters?

Canada Post and all their "ELVES" make sure that letters addressed to Santa, get to him! His address is very simple:

SANTA CLAUS

NORTH POLE

CANADA

and don't forget the postal code:

HOHOHO

No Postage necessary, the elves will get the letters to Santa, but be sure to send a return address!

Now everyone's tummy is full of goodness and the letters have been written, so it's time to settle in and wait for that wonderful holiday that is just on the horizon!
