The World's Best Snack! (Energy Bite Recipe)

The World's Best Snack!  (Energy Bite Recipe)

So one night, I was looking around on Pinterest and came across the most delicious snack I have ever tasted! They are called "No-Bake Energy Bites" and they are amazing.  

Honestly, I can't even put into words how much better these are than a granola or energy bar you might pick up at the store.  And the best part is, you know everything that is in it - because you make them in your own kitchen!  I take these to work with me, and just 2 get me from breakfast until lunch.  If I didn't take a snack like these to work with me, I would be one very hangry person by the time lunch rolls around.  You've heard the word "hangry" before right?  Hangry - hungry AND angry.  

Okay, enough talk - more recipe!

No-Bake Energy Bites 

(makes 18-20 bites)

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.  Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.  Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy!  Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Test them out, and let me know what you think! Be creative, too!  You can add anything you want to these :)

Until next time,

Nichole xoxo
