Craving something sweet?? Maybe that 3pm slump has got you down or need an after dinner treat?? You can't go wrong with these Peanut Butter + Chocolate Energy Bites!
Loaded with whole grains and protein, they also give you a little sweet treat, without going over the top--i usually count 2 of these treats as one serving. Whip up a batch on Sunday and have them to snack on all week long. They keep great in the fridge and freezer!
You can add extra nutrients by adding chia and/or flax seed, too but it's totally optional!
