Oats, Nuts & More Energy Bites
Easy no-bake energy bites with oats, nuts, fruits and more!
This is a quick and super-good recipe for a pre-workout snack that is bound to give you an extra jolt of energy. Although really easy to make, these are anything but dull and
packed with protein and fiber. Nuts and seeds are great sources of energy and make for perfect heart-healthy snacks. Cashews are rich in Omega-3, walnuts are rich in healthy fats and pistachios are rich in anti-oxidants.
While protein is important for muscle-building, it's not always feasible to have a protein shake before workout, or if you’re someone like me who prefers to chew on a snack rather than sip. Why spend over a dollar every time you want to have a protein bar when you can make them at home by mixing and matching ingredients from your pantry?
These also good for kids and make for a healthy after-school snack. Just add in the chocolate chips or toasted coconut flakes from the optional ingredients list to make them more appealing to the kids!
Another perfect occasion for making these are road trips. Oatmeal will keep you feeling full for a long time and the nuts and seeds will give you the energy release during your journey. Unlike potato chips, these are a no-mess snack. Next time you are going on a holiday, camping or backpacking, make a batch of these and bring with you.
I have included a list of optional ingredients. You can either swap some of the main ingredients with these or even add them to the main recipe.
Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl. If the mix is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup/honey.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, you can make small balls or transfer them to a parchment paper lined baking pan, press evenly into the pan and cut into bars.
Thank you for trying this with me!
