No Bake Energy Bites- These little bites are easy to prepare and super addictive.
Happy Friday, everyone! Jason got back home last night after being gone since Sunday. I'm so glad he made it back home safely. He was in Louisiana and Texas while they received a bit of a winter storm. As a result, his trip lasted a day longer. While he was gone I had a full on baking/cooking day. I tend to not take breaks during days like that and I'll just eat an apple or a even a cupcake, if that's what I baked. Not a good idea, I know!
Fortunately, I had some of these no bake energy bites in the fridge and I was able to grab a couple and that held me over til dinner. Also, not a good idea, to skip lunch all together, but I was so busy that I really didn't notice.
No Bake Energy Bites are full of oats, peanut butter, flax seed, chocolate chips, flaked coconut and honey. They are quite tasty!
I send a couple of these with Jason to work so he can have something to look forward to after lunch or for a mid-morning snack. He loves them, too! Seriously, what's not to love?!?
You can always mix up the flavors and try new ingredients in these.
