Recipe: Peanut Butter Energy Bites



I discovered these delicious little things several months ago and have been working on my own twists to the recipe ever since.  These are a HUGE favorite of my family, both my husband and kiddos absolutely love them.  They are gluten free, vegan, full of protein and make great pre/post workout fuel or even just a great snack. 

Below are 3 variations of my Peanut Butter Energy Bites.  For each recipe, mix all ingredients together in food processor then roll into tablespoon sized balls.  Store in an air tight container.

[Basic] Peanut Butter Energy Bites
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup of pitted dates
1/2 cup peanut butter

Coconut Flax Energy Bites
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup of pitted dates
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp coconut flakes
2 Tbsp ground flax seed

Chocolate Chia Energy Bites
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup of pitted dates
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
2 Tbsp chia seeds
