Happy Saturday, today is a rainy day and I’ve been craving something sweet! My kids love helping in the kitchen as well, so I thought these No Bake Energy Bites would be a perfect rainy day snack to make. They are a great on the go snack, or great for a pre-workout snack. They are great to make ahead of time and take on the go. They are a great source of carbohydrate and moderate protein, to keep you feeling full, and energized. You can use other nut butters, such as almond, sunflower or cashew butter and add anything you fit your needs.

Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup peanut butter, low-sodium
• 1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds raw, unsalted
• 1/3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
• 3 Tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt

Preparation:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
2. Let chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Once chilled, roll into balls (1 inch diameter).
4. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated (up to one week) they wont last that long.
5. Enjoy throughout the week!!
