Energising bites for a fruitful day

Nutritious little bites of goodness, also known as energy bites, which help you start your day fruitfully are pretty much always welcome, especially when said bites help you lose your weight or maintain the optimal weight for you. Aside from all that it’s delicious and super easy to make.

You’ll only need blender to make this recipe, it doesn’t need baking and the bites keep very well in the refrigerator.

They have a great texture and will definitely become your favorite snack.

Of course, this recipe has a lot of variations, depending on your taste, one of the popular ingredients for this recipe is raisins, which makes it easy to make balls because it gives the dough stickiness, but we do not use raisins in this recipe, because it is very sweet and is not a crowd pleaser in combination with chocolate. However, you can experiment and find the optimal mix for you. In addition to raisins other dried fruits are also often added, dried strawberries or apricots are also popular ingredients for the energy bites. However, the recipe we offer is not in any way inferior to its other variations.

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups flaked unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (extra as needed)
• 1/2 cup honey (extra as needed)
• 1/4 cup chia seeds, can be substituted with hemp
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips or buttons

Using ingredients in above mentioned proportions yield 30 energy bites

Instructions

1. Pulse the oats and the coconut until coarsely ground.
2. Add peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, salt, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Pulse again until well-mixed and the chocolate chips are cut into smaller pieces.
3. Roll into balls. (If it’s too dry, just add a little more honey / peanut butter and mix again – I usually just eyeball the amounts until it gets sticky enough).
4. Freeze until solid. Store in freezer or refrigerator.

Bon appetite!
