Energy bites are the perfect way to curb that sweet craving while giving your body a boost of energy and allowing you to finish out your morning, afternoon, or evening strong! Filled with good-for-you ingredients, there is no need to feel guilty after enjoying them. Now, let’s dive into these recipes! Â
Base MixÂ
One thing all good energy bits have in common is a high-quality rolled oat. These are the carbohydrates that give your body a boost of energy. Â
Add 1 ¼ cups of rolled oats to a large mixing bowl. Next, you’ll want to add some super mixings such as flax, chia, or hemp seeds. You’ll only need about 2 tablespoons of these to get all their amazing benefits. Â
Next, choose your favorite nut butter. You can always use the classic peanut butter, but feel free to switch it up! Add ½ cup of nut butter to the mixing bowl, followed by a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and either â…“ cup of honey or real maple syrup. Â
Now that you have the base of your energy bites let’s talk about mix-ins! Â
Chocolate Chip:Â
Who doesn’t love a good classic? If you want to keep your energy bites simple, add ½ cups of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. This adds a bit of sweetness and perfectly resembles a soft baked chocolate chip cookie without the added sugars.   Â
White Chocolate And Cranberry:
White chocolate is absolutely delicious in these energy bites. Be sure to swap the peanut butter for almond butter—it just takes these to the next level! Add about ¼ cup (maybe a bit extra, we won’t tell) white chocolate chips, followed by â…“ cup of dried cranberries. Â
Almond Joy:
These taste just like a delicious chocolate candy bar. All you need to do is replace the peanut butter with almond butter and half of the rolled oats with unsweetened shaved coconut. Add ¼ cup of chocolate chips and ¼ cup of chopped almonds. Â
Double Chocolate:Â
If you’re a chocolate lover, you’ll enjoy these chocolaty energy bites. Use the above base mix, but add ½ cups of dark chocolate chips and two tablespoons of 100% cocoa. These will fix that sweet craving while adding other beneficial nutrients to your diet. Â
