Energy Bites - Make your own snack for your hike!

Because I love the outdoors, I want to make my own little Energy Bites to take with me on a hike.

My husband recommended a recipe of Follow Bigfoot, a Hiking YouTube Channel. Said and done. 

I made a vegan version out of it, but of course you can replace the syrup with honey and the pea protein powder with whey protein. 

Here’s  what you’ll need:

• 1 cup nut butter (almond, peanut.. what every you like best)

• 1/2 cup syrup (rice and stevia syrup will work or honey)

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1/2 cup almond milk

• 1/2 cup cacao nibs

• 1/2 cup nuts (peanuts, almonds, pecan)

• 1/2 cup berries or dried fruit (plum, apricot or blueberries)

• 1 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 flax seed meal

• 1 cup protein powder (pea or whey)

• 1 teaspoon salt

How you make my Energy Bites

1. Mix nut butter and syrup in a bowl

2. Add all other ingredients besides 1/2 cup dark chocolate and salt

3. Mix well by hand

4. If it’s too dry: add more coconut oil and almond milk

5. If it’s too wet: add more protein powder

6. Scoop balls

7. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup dark chocolate and sprinkle over bites and add salt on top

Enjoy the outdoors!
