No Bake Energy Bites
I’m always looking for healthier treats and these fit the bill! Loaded with good for you ingredients like flaxseed, oats and chia seeds. Plus a little something sweet, mini chocolate chips, to curb my sweet tooth makes these way better for me than a chocolate chip cookie and just as delicious! Energy balls are a great snack for the mid afternoon munchies that I always seem to get!
Well, the little brother’s wedding weekend is over and done with and we survived! My hubs was a groomsman and I forgot how exhausting two children can be when you are doing it solo! It’s horrible! It also makes me appreciate him that much more. Not that he didn’t help out with them because he did as much as he could and we had tons of family there who were more than awesome about lending a hand. But man oh man trying to keep them in the right places at the right times, entertained and happy and not to mention clean the whole time was not fun!
I succeeded for the most part. Miss RyRy may have sputtered sweet potatoes all over her dress during the reception but by that time I had thrown in the towel of trying and gave way to the madness. The pictures and ceremony were done with and it was kind of a free for all after that!
Energy Bites
Everything, for the most part, went off with out a hitch. In fact nothing major happened. Except about 50 extra people showed up at the wedding reception we think and people ended up sitting outside on picnic tables on the deck, but it was at a lake so it wasn’t that rough!
The mother of the bride may have had to run to a store and get more forks and spoons because they ran out. You know every wedding has to have a few of those “moments” or there wouldn’t be anything to remember!
The main thing is that they are married and get to start their lives together! Onto the rest of their lives and happily ever after. I loved that our Pastor told them to take off their rose colored glasses if they didn’t think marriage wasn’t hard because it is. So true and honest about it. It’s work but it’s worth it in my opinion. Especially after realizing I could never be single mom after this weekend… haha! Love ya hubs!
Can you believe it’s August? I can’t and you know what that means? The kiddos are going to be heading back to school soon. It’s time to start picking out their school clothes, school supplies and get back into the schedule of school.
Where or where did summer go? I can’t believe I’ll be picking out preschool supplies for Miss K next year at this time. Don’t mind me while I wipe away a tear. Eeekkkkkk. Part of school is trying to figure out brown bagged lunches, after school snacks and dinner once again. Trying to get it all jammed into a few hours in the evening.
Today I’m sharing these amazing No Bake Chocolate Chip Energy Bites which are awesome for schools lunches and after school snacks! I’m a total snack lover and these satisfy my sweet tooth while being back with oatmeal, coconut, flax seed and chia seed to be not only tasty but a healthier treat too!
If you don’t like coconut don’t get scared away from these. The hubs doesn’t and he munched on these constantly!

How to Make No Bake Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
I don’t even know if I need to explain these to you they are that easy!
Simply dump all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix until combined and then form into balls. The recipe calls to make 30 balls, but if you want to make them smaller you can and then you can have two of them and it makes you feel like you are eating more. At least it does for me!

I’ve made these twice in the past two weeks! Great snack especially while virtual learning at home. Trying to switch up snacks👍
Julie says
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoy them!
Shaheen says
I changed it up a little since I didn’t have a few ingredients. I don’t care for chocolate chips so I used pecans. No flaxseed used hemp seeds. Not enough honey so I used homemade pecan syrup and a little monk fruit sweetener… OMG so amazing!!! I will be making this again!!!
Julie says
Glad it all worked out and you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!
Katie says
Love these! They are a perfect mid-morning (or anytime) snack. I halve the amount of chocolate to cut down on the sugar. I use honey instead of truvia bc thats what I usually have on hand.
Julie says
Awesome! I’m so glad you love them!
Ashley Schultz says
I’m not sure what I did wrong but these wouldn’t roll into a ball at all. I tried one batch with natural peanut butter (the kind that is made from just peanuts) and when those didn’t work I thought it might be the PB so I tried another batch with regular Skippy peanut butter. That didn’t work either. I wish I could upload a picture. They just fall apart when I try to form them into balls. I followed the recipe exactly. Any suggestions? I was excited to make these.
Julie says
Did you refrigerate them at all? That is what allows you to roll them into balls.

I eat chocolate chip cookies like they’re going out of style=not healthy I know! These look like something I would enjoy and feel way less guilty about. Love the addition of the peanut butter too!

Malinda @ Countryside Cravings says
These look great and I know my kiddos (and me) would polish them off in an afternoon! So glad to hear the wedding went well and yes I totally agree that taking care of the kids solo is torture!! At least yours stayed clean until the reception! 🙂 Great job!
