Don't have time to cook an omelet in the morning? Not enough time to prepare your snacks for the day in the morning? Know you are going to want a delicious treat after your lunch? Prepare yourself for a party in your mouth.
Make these no bake energy bites ahead and of time and grab them on the go! I like to pack a couple as a nice little snack in the afternoon. An energy bite (or two) and half a banana?! YUM! These pieces of heaven are packed in protein so will help give you energy and curb hunger. Fact is, you should aim to have some form of protein in all of yours snacks and meals, so move over Charlie Sheen! #winning
Let me tell you how good these are. I haven't made them in a few months, so when Scott saw me pulling out the ingredients on Sunday to prepare them, he was like a kid in a candy store. In fact, I caught him basically inside the refrigerator sneaking a bite before they were fully chilled. Is your mouth watering yet? Or are you mad that Scott put his grimy fingers in the mix before it was ready?
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oatmeal (can use gluten free)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (may switch it up next time and try almond or sunflower butter)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup GROUND flaxseed
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (because... why not add some extra health?)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
- Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Place bowl in the refrigerator and let chill for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the refrigerator and roll into bite size balls.
- Yes, it is that easy! Now eat up...but not in one sitting... which will be a challenge.
