Well, consider this a judgment free zone. And if today is one of those days, here is my solution: Energy bites! 5 ingredients 15 minutesNaturally sweetened (when using naturally sweetened dark chocolate!)Tastes like a peanut butter cup Get on board. I’m kind of into quick and easy right now. Warmer weather has meant more adventuring for us and I love having snacky things on hand for sporadic activities. I’m like that weird friend of yours with all the mom things in her purse who doesn’t actually have any kids. No sign of babies around here, just so many snacks. So, energy bites! 5 ingredients: DatesPeanut butterChia seedsOatsDairy-free dark chocolate The good news about these little gems is they’re totally customizable! No peanut butter? Sub any other nut butter. Not into chocolate (seriously Rhonda?)? Omit it and add more oats and chia seeds. Never heard of chia seeds? Sub flax or hemp seeds. It’s that easy friends. This is basically hippie cookie dough. Take a spoon and eat it straight. (Who on Earth would do such a thing? Me –  I would.) Or reach down in there and roll the batter into little portable energy bites. Your friends are gonna be so happy to see what’s in your mom purse. These guys are so good it’s dangerous! They’re: TenderPeanut butteryCrunchy from the chia seedsNaturally sweetenedChocolate-studdedWholesome& Seriously delicious Races? Hikes? Road trips? Travel? These are the snacks for you.
