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).
