Healthy Recipe: Quick Energy Bites

Ever have one of those days where you’re rushing from one thing to the next, and suddenly you realize… you’re starving? 

Maybe it’s between work meetings, right before picking up grandkids from school, or halfway through your afternoon errands.

Instead of reaching for something sugary (and dealing with the inevitable crash), we’ve got your new go-to: Quick Energy Bites!

These little snacks are packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, giving you a boost of energy that lasts. Plus, they’re no-bake, super easy to make, and grandkid-approved if you’re helping your adult children with their little ones running around.

Here’s the recipe:

Quick Energy Bites

Makes ~12 bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter you like)
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
2. Roll into 1-inch balls (tip: dampen your hands slightly to avoid sticking).
