Star Ingredients: Almond butter, Chia seeds, Honey, Oats and Coconut Flakes
Snacks: Maybe that’s the one which we can’t live without – If you ask me personally. But what you put in your tummy in the name of snack definitely matters Every-Single-Time.
In today’s world, getting to eat healthy and yummy snack food is becoming a challenge. But we try. These energy bites/ balls is yet another food with lots of good for you nuts and seeds along with natural sweetener.
They are
- Raw
- Vegan
- Natural
- No-bake
- Protein filled and much more
The ingredients can be easily replaced. Like Peanut butter for Almond butter, Cashews or Pistachios for Almonds, Maple syrup for honey Or even any seeds for chia seeds. There is absolutely no limit for mix and match of the combination.
I actually made it first time to use up the cheerios I was having around. Yes, literally I added cheerios and chocolate chips to this same recipe and it was a winner with both kids and adults. And a keeper.
You can also have them for after gym pick me up or evening sweet bite and even midnight snack(Pst…I will not judge).

Thanks for sharing this simple and easy recipe Smitha. But I don’t think it is vegan when you add honey to it.

Thank you Radhika. Although honey is controversial if its vegan or not, I gave the option of maple syrup instead of honey to make it strictly vegan.
