Peanut free engery bite ideas?

7rainbow

Hi all!
So I am a big snacker and have been trying to think of good, healthy ideas lately. I know store bought granola bars sometimes aren't actually that healthy, so I was looking online for some healthier options and came across some energy bite recipes! They look sooooo cute and tasty I want to make some, however it seems most are held together with peanut butter, which I dislike! Does anyone know of any simple, yummy recipes that don't involve peanut butter or hard to find ingredients? Thanks! 🙂

I love energy bites too. Keep in mind they are calorie bombs so track accordingly.

I find that proportion matters. Too much sticky stuff and they are too sticky. Not enough sticky stuff and they fall apart.

These use almonds for the protein instead of peanut butter:

This uses hemp:

This uses cashews:

(The quinoa crisps will make this last one a little lighter on the calories)

Do you like other nut butters? I’m sure most would work in a similar way.

I have replaced peanut butter with sunflower butter in a recipe and it turned out the same consistancy and my family liked it.
