Protein powders thrown in a shaker cup with a bit of milk are great for times when you just want to get a nice, big serving of protein in quickly and without hassle. That said, sometimes you just want to bite into something solid.
Functional foods have experienced a massive rise in popularity over the years – primarily in the form of foods that help you meet your macro goals while tasting like dessert at the same time.
The best just got better — AP Prime Bites Protein Brownies now come in two high-moisture glazed flavors!
One of our favorite functional foods is AP Prime Bites Protein Brownies from Alpha Prime Supps. They’re an absolute delicacy that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating. We’ve covered them in the past (see the link above), but there’s a major update for 2023:
Prime Bites GLAZE is here
Just when we thought Prime Bites couldn’t get any more delicious, Alpha Prime releases two new flavors of the snack defined by one awesome factor: glaze.
Glazes are essentially the definition of a guilty pleasure – donuts, cinnabon buns, and lemon pound cake are not particularly great for health. If there’s a glaze on a treat, the odds are virtually certain that it will be delicious and detrimental to your fitness goals in equal measure.
Glaze – sugary and moist
Other protein-dominant snack foods have experimented with glaze before, but what sets the glaze on Prime Bites apart is its high moisture content. The gooeyness of the glaze pumps the salivation factor up to 11. Both new flavors – Glazed Cinnamon Roll and Chocolate Glazed Donut – are must-tries.
We’re going to dive into a little summary on the ingredients in AP Prime Bites, but first, let’s check the PricePlow for good AP deals, and check out our video review of the new flavor:

You can read the details in our earlier AP Prime Bites article, but here’s a general breakdown:
Prime Bites Macros / Nutrition Facts: Chocolate Glazed Donut and Glazed Cinnamon Roll
Both flavors have the same macros:
Calories: 220
Protein: 19g
Total Carbohydrate: 19g
Dietary Fiber: 2g
Total Sugars: 6g
Added Sugars: 4g
Sugar Alcohols: 10g
Total Fat: 9g
Prime Bites – How It Works
So each Prime Bites Brownie contains 19g of protein, and is packed with the following ingredients:
Protein Blend
Collagen Hydrolysate
Collagen supplementation is beneficial for joint and connective tissue health, as well as improving hair, skin, and nail texture, strength, and durability, and cardiovascular health.
Whey Protein Blend
Whey protein is the standard for protein supplementation because it’s a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. AP Prime Bites contain both whey concentrate and whey isolate for that extra macro boost.
Egg
AP Prime Bites contain whole eggs, which are rich in choline, a crucial nutrient required for optimal health that the body cannot produce and must obtain through food. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that improves cognitive functions, including physical skills like balance and coordination.
Sweeteners: Erythritol, Monk Fruit Extract, and Brown Sugar
Erythritol is the primary sweetener and is a sugar alcohol that is mostly non-metabolized, doesn’t alter blood glucose and insulin levels, and improves mouthfeel. Monk fruit extract is another sweetener that doesn’t affect caloric intake or blood glucose levels, and mogrosides in it have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and inhibit the growth and differentiation of fat cells. Brown sugar is the source of the 5 grams of added sugars in Prime Bites.
Flour Blend
To thicken up a brownie, it needs flour, which is why AP Prime Bites are popular because they contain almond and coconut flour, two gluten-free flours that add carbs without causing gastrointestinal discomfort, unlike slimy glycerin or fake fiber syrup.
Other Ingredients
To get that perfect glaze flavor and consistency, AP uses some cocoa butter, tapioca fiber, milk and corn syrup.

All Prime Bites flavors
While the new glazed flavors are awesome, AP Prime Bites comes in a bunch of other delectable flavors:
Snacks that boost macros
When you start taking fitness seriously, it can be difficult knowing what you should and should not eat. Most things that really satisfy a sweet tooth simply do not fit with athletic goals. The macros are all off, and sweets are usually filled with a bunch of terrible ingredients.
As a result, it’s easy to fall into the habit of just drinking your macros – slamming protein shakes to get up to the 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. While this isn’t terrible, it can get boring. Half of the enjoyment of brownies comes from the soft, chewy texture and consistency of them.
With the rise of protein snack foods, eating brownies no longer becomes overly-detrimental to your health goals. Brownies no longer need to be a guilty pleasure.
