Almond Butter Energy Bites
These protein rich almond butter energy bites are the perfect snack! They are full of anti-inflammatory, gut healthy ingredients. The pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds help to balance hormones, decrease inflammation, and increase your iron and energy.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds chopped
- 1/4 cup Flax Seeds finely chopped or ground in a coffee grinder (or food processor)
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
- 1/4 cup Cacao Nibs or Hu Dark Chocolate Gems chopped
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup Almond Butter without added sugars or seed oils
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil softened or melted to make mixing easier
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla optional
Instructions
- Chop your pumpkin seeds and flax seeds. I like to throw these in my coffee grinder or blender to quickly and finely chop them but you can do it by hand if you don't have a grinder.
- Chop your dark chocolate gems.
- In a bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and chocolate)
- In another small bowl mix together the wet ingredients (almond butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla).
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- I like to stick this in the freezer for a few minutes to cool slightly before shaping into balls. Grab small spoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into small round balls. Place the energy bites on unbleached parchment paper and stick them into the freezer for 20 minutes to setup.
- After the energy balls have set up, you can transfer them to a reusable freezer bag or storage container. These can be stored in the fridge or freezer based on your preference.
- Enjoy!
