Energy bites are “all the rage”, so for the past weeks I’ve been experimenting with different recipes… adding and subtracting elements to get to my kid’s favorite concoction. And now….. HERE IT IS!
These are not low calorie!!
The rationale of these is a quick and easy snack to power yourself or your kiddies through a long day and solid workout. I did not calculate the calories, but don’t eat a dozen in one setting!
These are so easy and require no oven or other heavy machinery… I’m a little lazy so I use a mixer… but you can do it by hand.
Here we go!!
2 1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
2T chia
1 cup flax seeds – quickly spin in the food processor/blender prior to adding
1/2 cup pepita (pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
8 oz all natural peanut butter (I warmed it in microwave to mix it more easily)
1/2 cup honey – may need more to get right consistency
1 t vanilla
Mix it up baby now… mix it up baby…
You do sing while you cook.. right??
Then roll into 1 inch balls and refrigerate!
They last all week! This recipe makes around 35
Enjoy!❤️
