My family members are big snackers. They would prefer to eat a bag of
cheese crackers instead of the healthy meals I cook for them. So,
having wholesome and delicious snack choices that are quick to grab and easy
to take on the go are important to have on hand. Over the years, I've
compiled a list of our favorite easy snack recipes, which I've listed
below.
One of our favorite healthy snacks is Energy Bites. My girls
do competitive gymnastics, so I feel good about sending these to fuel their
bodies during practice. I also love to eat them for a quick energy boost
and to fight those mid-day hunger cravings. Because they are easy to
make and last a long time in the freezer, I make a big batch and we grab them
when we need a healthy snack option.
I adapted
this recipe
from Princess Pinky Girl. My daughters usually help me make these
energy bites, and it is fun and quick. Now they can pretty much make
them themselves.
Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
1. Heat 1 cup of Almond Butter (or your favorite nut butter) with
1/2 cup of honey in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, until you are able to
easily mix the two ingredients together.
2. In a medium-sized
bowl, combine 3 cups of oats with the almond butter/honey mixture and stir.
3.
Add 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips and stir again. Refrigerate the
mixture for an hour or more.
4. Roll the mixture into balls,
then place back into the refrigerator or the freezer in an airtight
container. Enjoy!
