No bake energy bites
|
These no bake energy bites are perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, and some protein before a workout, and even desert!
This recipe is great because it is super flexible - most of the ingredients can be substituted for others. The fun part is tweaking the recipe to make it "yours". And again, these are no bake ... so does it get any easier than that? Ingredients 1 cup (dry) oatmeal 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ 1/2 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional) 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar 1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional) 1 tsp. vanilla extract Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week Makes about 20-25 balls |

Jeff’s Tip
These are great for pre-workout energy boost and post workout recovery. Have one or two with Almond milk and you have a great healthy workout snack. Pre-workout make without the chocolate chips or cacao nibs, this will be fast to digest allowing you to eat within an hour of your workout. Post-workout use all ingredients, the added sugar will speed up recovery.
