_Imagine walking into your office with a snack that makes your coworkers’ jaws drop! Girl, I’ve got the perfect recipe that’ll have everyone begging for your secret. Let me share my absolute favorite work snack that’s totally Instagram-worthy and actually keeps you satisfied until dinner._
Let’s make these incredible No-Bake Energy Bites that literally taste like cookie dough (but they’re actually good for you – shh, don’t tell anyone! 😉)
Here’s what you’ll need, bestie:
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter if you’re fancy)
– 1/3 cup honey
– 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
– 2 tablespoons chia seeds
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– A pinch of sea salt
Now, let me walk you through this super easy process (trust me, if I can do it while binge-watching my favorite show, you’ve got this!)
1. First, dump all ingredients into a bowl. Yes, all at once – we’re not doing anything complicated here!
1. Mix everything together until it looks like a gorgeous cookie dough consistency. Feel free to taste test – I won’t judge!
1. Pop the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes (perfect time to scroll through TikTok or catch up on emails).
1. Once chilled, roll into cute little balls about 1-inch in diameter. This recipe makes around 12-15 bites.
Y’all, 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!
Store these babies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long – mine usually disappear in 2 days tops! 🙈)
Pro tip: Want to make them extra fancy? Roll them in coconut flakes or cocoa powder. I did this once and literally had someone offer to trade their homemade brownies for my recipe!
These energy bites are perfect for those 3 PM slumps when you’re dying for something sweet but don’t want to raid the vending machine. Plus, they’re packed with protein and healthy fats that’ll keep you energized through those endless Zoom meetings.
Honestly, I’ve made these so many times, I could probably do it blindfolded (though I don’t recommend trying that at home, ladies! 😅)
