Energy-Boosting Peanut Butter Bites

These peanut butter bites taste amazing thanks to the coconut flavor pairing, and they’re an ideal snack.
What does an ideal snack look like? It provides protein and healthy fats to keep you satisfied and give you energy without being a total calorie bomb (since it’s supposed to fill in gaps between meals, not become a meal).
We love that these are automatically portion-controlled, since they’re made in a mini muffin pan and end up being bite-sized.

- Place muffin tin into freezer to set for at least 15 minutes, and enjoy!

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
These sweet, satisfying bites are easy to make; you don’t even have to turn on the oven. They deliver healthy omega-3 fats from flax and chia seeds and are filled with protein, making them the perfect afternoon pick-me-up snack and a great option for a grab-and-go breakfast.
