Ready your food processors, friends. Let’s make the tastiest snack on the block! These energy bites are made with 6 simple ingredients in less than 30 minutes! The base is my favorite natural sweetener: dates!
I love dates because they’re nature’s caramel and boast minerals like zinc, potassium, magnesium, and iron!Walnuts come next, which add protein and are high in omega 3 fatty acids.Cacao powder adds rich chocolate flavor as well as phytonutrients, magnesium, and iron.Almond butter provides even more protein as well as vitamin E, manganese, and biotin.And hemp seeds add omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, iron, magnesium, and zinc. Plus, they’re a perfect protein, boasting 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids.
I think we can all agree that this is one healthy snack. The texture of these bites is close to a truffle! They’re so chocolaty and rich and moist. And when you roll them in cacao powder, they even get a little fudgy and sticky. I mean, this is a dreamy scenario. I hope you all LOVE these energy bites! They’re: FudgyChocolatyRichPerfectly sweetSuper healthyEasy to make& Kind of amazing These bites would make the perfect snack or a healthier dessert. I love having two (or three) in the afternoon for a little energy boost alongside a cup of tea. They would also make a great topper for Overnight Oats, 5-Minute Smoothie Bowls, or Dark Chocolate Quinoa Breakfast Bowls!
