Every day around the same time it takes everything in me to not eat the entire fridge and pantry, or should I say what’s in the fridge and pantry, I’m not that hungry. 😉 Finding healthy snacks ideas and recipes is so hard, especially ones that will fill you up enough to keep you until dinner but these Protein No Bake S’mores Energy Bites will fix that for you!
How to Make Healthy Energy Bites
Energy bites need only a few ingredients like, a nut butter (almond or peanut butter works best) and sweetener like honey or agave which also aides in keeping the balls together, oats and some healthy add ins like protein, chia seeds, flax seed, etc.
Everything gets stirred together in a bowl and then you form them into balls.
Energy Bites Won’t Stick Together?
Sometimes your energy bites don’t stick together as you’re trying to roll them into balls, this is often because you need a little more nut butter or honey. If they are too loose try adding a little more oats or protein powder.
What is the Difference Between Old Fashioned Oats and Steel Cut Oats?
Steel-cut oats are oat groats that have been cut into two or three pieces, which make for a relatively unprocessed product. Rolled or old-fashioned oats are made by steaming and rolling the oat groats for faster cooking.

Protein No Bake Chocolate Energy Bites
Could I substitute regular butter for almond butter this is to accommodate an allergy thanks? Keep up the good work.
Hi Sharon, you’d want to find a sunflower butter as otherwise they will taste like pure butter and not be very healthy
Love making homemade granola bars/bites versus store-bought…and these are so kid-friendly too! 🙂

Hi Gene, that is a fantastic question!
