5 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BITES
Again, this recipe is no-bake, which makes it simple to prepare in no longer than 10 minutes. It has everything you need from fiber, protein, to healthy fats that keep your energy up throughout the day. You will only need 5 components, flax seeds, chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey, and old-fashioned oats. Blend everything together in a bowl.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE ENERGY BALLS
This recipe is the epitome of convenience, because you can use anything you have. Instead of flax seeds, you can incorporate wheat germs. Semi-sweet chips are good, but you can try adding dark chocolate. Jazz it up with some cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or cranberries.
This recipe can also be served as a dessert. It usually holds up for 24 hours. It’s as if cookie dough and a granola bar had a baby. It’s also perfect for snacking in the evenings when you start getting hungry before dinner time or when your energy is down in the afternoon. In case you want more of a chocolate taste, attempt Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites.
Peanut butter energy bites can be frozen if leftovers passed a week. These are the ingredients you will need to achieve this:
What do you need to make energy balls?
- Creamy Peanut Butter: This is the binding agent for these bites. You can substitute this for your go-to but butter.
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips: I prefer to use mini chocolate chips, but you can also use chocolate chunks.
- Old Fashioned Oats: Rolled oats or old fashioned oats are best for these energy bites. Stay away from instant and cut oats. In case you want to keep them free of gluten, use certified gluten free oats.
- Ground Flax Seed: This brings in the dose of nutrients and fiber. Feel free to use chia seed or hemp seed instead of flax seed, or simply add more old-fashioned oats.
- Honey: For the ideal dosage of sweetness, or use agave instead.
HOW TO MAKE ENERGY BALLS
All you need to do to make these peanut butter chocolate chip energy bites is mix all 5 components in a bowl. Combine, then stick in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes to make them simpler to roll. Make 12 bite-sized rolls that can be kept in the refrigerator all week.

TIPS FOR MAKING ENERGY BITES
1. Make sure you always refrigerate your mixture before starting to roll the bites to make it convenient. In case they’re still giving you a hard time, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the mix or simply wet your hands.
2. If you don’t feel like rolling them into individual balls, you can lay out your mix into a square-shaped baking dish covered in parchment paper. Chill in the fridge then slice into bars.
