Protein-Packed Cocoa Energy Bites
Are you looking for a sugar-free snack idea that tastes fantastic?
These protein-packed cocoa energy bites are delicious and they are perfect to have on hand to curb sugar cravings!
Snacking is one of the times when your sugar cravings can get the best of you. Most convenience foods are packed with sugar (and other not so great ingredients). We eat them because they are easy to grab when we are hungry.
Make it easy on yourself to eat healthy even when a craving hits. Keep a batch of these in your fridge so you can grab one when you need a snack or have a sugar craving.
These travel beautifully. We usually take a few bags of these whenever we head out for the day. My kids love them and they are so easy to eat on the go!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Optional: Add 2 Tbsp. of your favorite veggie powder for some extra nutrition. This is our favorite.
Preparation
Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix on medium for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is combined.
Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into balls. I like keeping these fairly small (around 1-2 inches in diameter) so they don’t break apart.
Store in the fridge for up to a week.
