_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about my absolute favorite work snack that’ll make your colleagues jealous and your taste buds dance! These Mediterranean-inspired No-Bake Energy Bites are perfect for those 3 PM slumps when you need something delicious and energizing.
Trust me, as someone who’s tried every snack under the sun during those long work hours, these little bites of heaven are a game-changer! They’re packed with protein, healthy fats, and just enough sweetness to satisfy those cravings without sending you into a sugar coma.
Here’s what you’ll need (I know you’re already excited!):
– 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
– 1/2 cup almonds
– 1/4 cup pistachios (because we’re fancy like that!)
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon orange zest
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– A pinch of sea salt
– 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Y’all, the process is seriously so simple, even my cooking-challenged bestie nailed it on her first try!
Instructions (stay with me here):
1. Throw those dates and nuts into a food processor (show them who’s boss!)
2. Pulse until everything’s chopped up nice and fine
3. Add honey, orange zest, vanilla, and salt – pulse again until it forms a sticky mixture
4. Roll into cute little balls (about 1 inch)
5. Roll in coconut flakes for that extra pizzazz
