Trying something new today. I see many Pinterest recipes floating around for no bake energy bites and wanted to give them a whirl.
I didn't use any protein powders as I am personally not a fan of anything that is severely processed (besides the occasional sausage Mc Muffin 😳), but if you are a powder lover, toss them in this recipe!
I threw in whatever I had on hand. I didn't measure, so bare with me.
In a large missing bowl I combined approximately:
2-3 cups of oats
1/4 cup of honey
2 handfuls of chocolate chips (Trader Joe's has some wonderful dairy free vegan chips!)
1/4 cup of chia seeds
2 cups of peanut butter
2 cups of shredded coconut
I was going to add flax seed but learned that a few super rude little moths had infiltrated my container of flax seed.
Again, I'm guessing at the measurements, trust your gut (and your eyes).
I used clean hands to mush and mix together. It appeared crumbly but stick together well when pressed and rolled into balls. I ended up with 19 balls about 1-11/2 inches.
That was it! Into the fridge they went, on top of a parchment paper-covered cookie tray to chill. I snuck a taste and they are great. A little bland, some cinnamon may be included on the next batch, or maybe more coconut.
Let me know if you try them, and please share any no bake healthy treat recipes in the comments below!
