chocolate energy bites 🍫
my kids ask for something sweet approximately 47 times a day, so these have become my answer - and my son actually coined the name himself (energy bites, obviously, because that’s exactly what they are).
these are for the chocolate lovers who still want to feel good about what they’re eating. they taste like a treat, but they’re packed with protein - oats, almond flour + almond butter, flax, and a scoop of vegan chocolate protein powder, rolled in coconut flakes. healthy-ish, sweet enough to actually crave, and kid-approved without them knowing what’s really in there.
chocolate energy bites (makes 12)
🥣 1 cup old fashioned oats
🥣 1/3 cup almond flour
🥣 1/2 cup vegan chocolate protein powder
🥣 1/2 cup almond butter
🥣 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
🥣 1/2 cup agave
🥣 2-3 tbsp almond milk (as needed)
🥣 1/3 cup chocolate chips
🥣 3 tbsp coconut flakes
🥣 pinch of sea salt
Instructions: mix dry ingredients, stir in almond butter + agave, add almond milk a tbsp at a time until it holds together, fold in chocolate chips, chill 20-30 min, then roll into balls (coating in coconut flakes if you like). Fridge up to a week, freezer for longer!
