Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine work snack that’s been my salvation during those never-ending afternoon slumps! As someone who practically lives at their desk (don’t we all?), I’ve perfected these No-Bake Energy Bites that are literally to die for – and trust me, your coworkers will be begging for the recipe!
These little bites of heaven combine the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and just enough sweetness to satisfy those 3 PM cravings. Plus, they’re totally customizable – because who doesn’t love having options, right?
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s super simple):
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter if you’re feeling fancy)
– 1/3 cup honey
– 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– A pinch of sea salt
Ladies (and gents!), if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your coworkers jealous!
Now, let’s get our hands dirty (in the best way possible):
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together until well combined. Get in there and show it who’s boss! The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
1. Pop the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Trust me on this one – it makes rolling so much easier!
1. Once chilled, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Y’all, this is where the magic happens!
1. Store these babies 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: Want to make them extra special? Roll them in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts. Because why not be a little extra? 🙌
These energy bites are perfect for those days when you need a little pick-me-up but don’t want to raid the vending machine (again). They’re packed with protein, fiber, and enough chocolate to make you feel like you’re actually treating yourself.
Seriously, dolls, these have been such a game-changer for my workday snacking game. No more hangry moments during important meetings! And the best part? They take less than 15 minutes to make (plus chill time, but that’s hands-off, so it doesn’t count in my book!).
