Peanut Butter Protein Energy Bites

If I’m gonna go "camping" (that's a relative term for me) I need some yummy snacks to take with me.

peanut-butter-protein-energy-bitesYa know know that saying, “I’m outdoorsy in that I like to drink beer on a patio”? Yeah, that’s me. Give me a cold one and a nice patio and I could soak up nature for hours. I’m not saying I’m the evil step mother from Parent Trap who thinks hitting sticks together gets rid of mountain lions. But I’m no nature expert.

Last year Chelsea came with my family for a weekend trip to Glade Springs in West Virginia. While hiking a trail I noticed some green stuff on a couple rocks. Without thinking I asked why they took the time to put green carpet on the rocks for decoration.

Then I realized it was moss. Not one of my prouder moments. But it was wayyy too late and I couldn’t take it back. I will never live that moment down.

I’m going to Hocking Hills this weekend with my boyfriend and another couple for Labor Day and I made a promise to myself that I will think before asking any questions. I also made a promise that I will bring delicious snacks to keep us energized for all our outdoor plans.

These energy bites are all the rage and once you taste this recipe you'll know why. You need to try these out because you can make a big recipe and keep them in the fridge for the week. I love to pop these babies as a breakfast on-the-go, an easy snack, or a quick bite of protein before a workout.

They’re full of healthy complex carbs, protein and a little sweetness that may curb some sugar cravings too. All you do is mix the ingredients together in a bowl, let it chill in the fridge for about half an hour (this is important - I learned the hard way), and roll them into balls.

One of my favorites things about this recipe is that it’s so flexible. Not a coconut fan? No big deal, just leave it out or swap it with something you do like. Or if you’re allergic to peanut butter, use almond butter instead. The options are endless.
