So your body is sore, but you tongue craves sugar. When I feel this way, my sweet tooth goes crazy. I want to eat something processed, but do I really want to ruin all my hard work? Finding a healthy, tasty snack is a challenge.
I recently expressed this challenge with my roommate and she sent me this great recipe she found off
Courtney Gibb's Instagram. She calls them Protein Peanut Butter Balls. That seems too long of title and I changed up the recipe a little. So I gave it a new name. Thus ENERGY BITES were born!
Personally, I did not think I would like them. I am not a huge fan of peanut butter or honey, but BOY! I was glad I tried them.
The best thing about this recipe is that the ingredients are easily found in your home. Honey, quick oats, chocolate chips, protein powder etc. There aren't weird spices or random things you would specifically need to go buy at the store, you know? It is SO convenient. It is SO simple. You can also add and deduct different ingredients depending on your preference.
They literally taste like cookie dough and take a maximum of twenty minutes to make. Did I mention this recipe is a NO-BAKE RECIPE?!
THEY ARE DELICIOUS.
I think the only down side to this recipe is how sticky it gets when making them. They can get a little messy and the clean-up is not the greatest experience. However, they smell amazing AND they are MUCH better for you than eating a cookie, chocolate or cake. In fact, I find these to be a great snack after doing workout because they are PACKED with protein, which help repair your muscles. Lastly, you don't have to wait for cook time. You stick them in the freezer for maybe five minutes and they are ready to be eaten. SO GOOD.
Lastly, there are a lot of deserts I would chose Energy Bites over. Really. Especially a gingerbread house.
