No Bake Energy Bites

This is a snack that is quick and easy to make with ingredients likely already in your pantry. All you need to do is throw the ingredients into a bowl, mix well, roll into bite-sized balls, and freeze. These are tasty enough to replace any dessert!

Ingredient List

• Organic peanut butter is an excellent source of plant-protein.

• Dark chocolate is a great source of antioxidants.

• Ground flaxseed is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.

• Pumpkin seeds are rich in plant-protein and antioxidants.

No Bake Energy Bite Variations

Many variations of no bake energy bites exist. Experiment with the ingredients you have in your pantry and make up your own creation!

When creating a new variation of no bake energy bites, three ingredients are required. These base ingredients include a main filling such as sprouted rolled oats, a nut butter to bind the ingredients, and a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or honey to increase sweetness.

You can create your own variations by adding the three base ingredients in combination with these options.

• Use a different variation of nut butter such as almond butter, walnut butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, or macadamia butter.
• Incorporate some dried cherries or blueberries for some tartness.
• Add chia seeds or hemp seeds to increase protein.
• Add ground ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract for additional flavor.
