No Bake Energy Bites

I am always looking for something quick and easy as a snack option. I love snacking (and ps snacking is super important for your metabolism).  It is very important that we eat every couple of hours to fuel the fire we have burning from exercise.  Although snacking is important, I am not a huge fan of prepackaged granola bars and things - they are convenient but they never quite do the trick for me. I find myself still hungry after eating things like that and if I'm hungry you better watch out!

Enter - No Bake Energy Bites!

These little beauties only require four ingredients and are delicious.  Now, I know there are other recipes out there for no bake snacks and I plan to try more. The particular recipe I used this time included Shakeology which is the supplement I use as part of my daily routine.  It is PACKED full of vitamins (I don't take any other vitamins actually) so I loved that the recipe included this. I will be trying out other versions of this recipe for those of you who do not use Shakeology. Still, I had to share this one too - it is too delicious to pass up.

What You Need:

1 C all natural peanut butter

1/2 C honey

1 C quick cook oats

1 C chocolate Shakeology

What You Do:

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.

Combine well.

Roll mixture into about 1 inch balls (should make 24-25 balls)

Refrigerate!  

Delicious. These snacks are perfect for my entire family. They aren't messy so my kids can enjoy them in the car and I can enjoy them when things ARE CRAZY in my house (which is 99.9% of the time). They also make a great late night treat if you are having a sweet tooth craving.

Enjoy!
