Hiya everyone! Something new I have decided to establish is recipe Wednesday, so every Wednesday I will post a new recipe to keep all you guys fueled and so...I actually cook once in a while. SO this week I am starting with a new discovery of mine (new to me....not the rest of the world..) ENERGY BITES! I have seen these things ALL OVER Instagram and well I thought it was my turn to take a crack at them and let me just say I am now 100% addicted. These things are so simple to make and so easy for a nice grab and go pre and post workouts. The ingredients are all natural, easy to find, and overall good for your health! I also chose to use mostly locally grown ingredients because I am a fan of supporting and helping local farmers / small business owners here in the Capital Region. I know where the ingredients is coming from and I can always trust that it's 100% fresh and free of GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms).
Any who - let's get started with what's in these little guys! Ingredients 1.) 1c Organic rolled oats (dry - or toasted!) 2.) 1/2 c Ground flax seeds 3.) 1/3 c Coconut flakes (can also be toasted!) 4.) 1/4 c Vegan chocolate chips (...yes they do exist!) 5.) 1/3 c Local / organic honey (or you can use agave!) 6.) 1 TBSP ground cinnamon 7.) 1/2 c Local / organic Peanut Butter (can also use other nut butters) 8.) 1 TBSP All natural vanilla extract Instructions: 1.) Put all ingredients into a bowl (I suggest putting in dry then wet) 2.) Stir the mixture together 3.) Store mixture in the fridge for about a half hour 4.) Remove from the fridge, roll into balls (I use a spoon to try to make them all the same size) 5.) Place balls on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper 6.) Refrigerate for about and hour and enjoy! SO EASY to make and easy to store. I recommend keeping them in the fridge when you aren't eating them and definitely try to mix up the ingredients (that's my plan next time). Like I said these guys are a GREAT grab and go snack, i've been consuming them before runs and they've actually worked out really well. I'm working on experimenting with different super foods to find that perfect pre-workout / pre-race snack. So keep experimenting and let me know what you guys come up with! Until next time... Stay Green, Amanda
