5-Ingredient No Bake Energy Bites

If you haven’t been able to catch onto a theme of KP’s Kitchen yet, let me help to spell it out…. E.A.S.Y. I don’t have the time (really the energy) to have to prep a dish for an hour before it even cooks. I like to keep things simple using ingredients you most likely already have in your pantry and fridge! If you’re like me, you like to eat healthy while also eating something that doesn’t taste like cardboard (#AmIRight). A lot of healthy foods, especially snacks, get a bad rap tasting like cardboard, so I am here to prove foods can not only be healthy, but also mouthwateringly delicious!

5-Ingredient No Bake Energy Bites

Yield: 12

Prep time: 5 MinTotal time: 5 Min

Whether you're in a rush in the morning or simply need a delicious snack to get you through to lunch, these no-bake energy bites will keep you energized and satisfied!

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup of peanut butter (I like crunchy, but creamy works just as well)
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup of chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of water

Instructions

1. Step 1: Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
2. Step 2: Place in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. The balls will be easier to roll when chilled.
3. Step 3: If the mixture is a slightly dry, start by adding 1/2 tbsp of water, mix again. If still slightly dry, add another 1/2 tbsp of water to mixture.
4. Step 4: Spoon out roughly 2 tbsp's of mixture and roll into balls. You should be able to make 12 out of this recipe.
5. Step 5: Place back in the refrigerator to grab and go this snack as needed!
6. *These can be frozen, just make sure to double wrap them to keep from freezer burn.*

What I love the most about these energy bites is there are so many different things you can put in these! Instead of chia seeds you can use flax seeds, shredded coconut, raisins… the possibilities are endless! I make these at the beginning of each week to grab out of the fridge in the morning before a workout or as a midday snack!

I’m going to start sending out the recipes through emails at the beginning of each week, so if you don’t want to have to check instagram, sign up below!
