_Sips coffee_ Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite afternoon pick-me-up that’s been keeping me sane during those long work hours. Trust me, once you try these No-Bake Energy Bites, you’ll never go back to those boring vending machine snacks again!
These little bites of heaven are packed with 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:
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter if you’re feeling fancy)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
Y’all, I cannot tell you how many times these have saved me from those hangry moments during deadline rushes!
Let’s get making these bad boys:
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together until well combined. Get your hands in there if needed – sometimes getting a little messy is worth it!
1. Pop the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Trust me on this one – it makes rolling them SO much easier.
1. Once chilled, roll into bite-sized balls (about 1-inch diameter). I usually get around 20-24 bites.
1. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long! 😉)
