Protein-Packed No-Bake Energy Bites

I know, what’s the point of high protein energy bites? After all, carbs are your energy, right?

Well the thing is, it always seems like I’m never feeding the kids enough protein, so I add it to recipes whenever I can.

That, and I don’t care for the taste of flax to be honest.

Now that we have the taste of flax out of the way, I’m really excited about these no-bake energy bites! They make great additions to lunch boxes, and perfect road trip snacks. I even packed them up in snack baggies with our favorite blueberry-banana fruit leather, and took them with us on our flight to Argentina a few weeks ago. They saved us Soooo much money by not having to buy airport food!

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how customizable it is – You will never get bored with it! Our favorites are peanut butter with chocolate chips and mini m&ms (because you know, they’re soooo healthy), but a close second is almond butter with craisins, and (when I’m feeling indulgent) vanilla baking chips.

So good!
