Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite afternoon work snack that’s been keeping me sane during those long office hours. Trust me, once you try these No-Bake Energy Bites, you’ll never go back to those boring vending machine options again!
I discovered this recipe during one of those “I’m-about-to-fall-asleep-at-my-desk” moments, and honey, it’s been a game-changer! Not only are these bites totally Instagram-worthy, but they’re also packed with protein and natural sweetness to keep you going through that dreaded 3 PM slump.
What You’ll Need:
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats (because we’re fancy like that)
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (the good stuff, ladies!)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of sea salt (just like your attitude – perfectly balanced)

Now, let’s get our hands dirty (but not too dirty, we just got our nails done):
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Yes, it’s that simple! No need for fancy equipment or that mixer your mother-in-law gifted you three Christmases ago.
1. Once everything’s combined, pop the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This is your perfect excuse to scroll through TikTok or catch up on those work emails you’ve been avoiding.
1. After chilling, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). If the mixture sticks to your hands, just wet them slightly with cold water – works like a charm!
1. Store these little beauties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long, which, let’s be real, they won’t).
Pro tip: I like to make these on Sunday evenings while catching up on my favorite reality shows. Perfect meal prep moment!
These energy bites are totally customizable too! Feel free to swap in different mix-ins like dried cranberries, coconut flakes, or crushed almonds. Make them your own, queen! 👑
