No Bake Energy Bites
May 4, 2020
Author: Ann Taylor
Two of my favorite ingredients are peanut butter and chocolate. Actually, my whole family enjoys them so I pretty much keep a constant supply of both in the house at all times. Our favorite on-the-go snacks are protein energy bites. (And, as it turns out they are also our favorite quarantine snacks as well).
I experiment a lot and always try slightly different versions, but my current go-to recipe is the one on the back of the Trader Joe’s flaxseed package. I made one little modification and used half flaxseed and half chia seed for todays batch (see original recipe and my version, below).
Since finding quiet time is a bit challenging during quarantine, I like to sneak outside early in the morning with a nice cup of hot tea and enjoy a couple bites before the family wakes up! Hope you enjoy these too. Let us know if you have a favorite recipe!
