I enjoy making new things that are not only healthy but will make 10 and 12 year old boys happy, and feel like they are getting a “treat”. I make these raw energy bites to be able to provide them with a healthy snack at school, but it is a nice protein snack in between meals, something that will give them brain power and plenty of nutrition.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup gluten free oats
1/c cup freshly ground golden flaxseed (fresh is best)
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp organic cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt
3/4 cup organic raw almond butter (crunchy or creamy)
1/3 cup raw honey
1/2 cup coconut flakes (optional)
2 tsp collagen powder
Blending the ingredients will be a workout in itself. A wooden spoon is recommended. Optional ingredients can be chocolate chips, or ground up raw almonds/walnuts.
Once thoroughly blended, form into small balls. Aim for about 1″ in diameter. This recipe should about two dozen balls. They keep well in the fridge and can also be made in larger batches and frozen.
