Nut Butter Energy Bites
Sometimes we all need a little bite of energy during the day, right? Whether it is before your morning workout, or before your mid-day meeting, I have you covered with these nutrient-packed Energy Bites!
These snack-sized treats are filled with good-for-you ingredients to keep you fueled and ready for your sweat session ahead. The recipe includes almond butter for healthy fats and superfoods like chia and flax to kick the morning off with some fiber! I also included cacao nibs for the perfect crunch, as well as the option to add honey for some sweetness.
Each snack bite is topped off with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides to sneak in some additional benefits regardless of what your next activity may be! (Have I mentioned this recipe has it all?)
Better yet, all ingredients are gluten and dairy-free making them perfect for those with any sensitivities. Have a friend or a virtual workout buddy who would enjoy a pre workout snack? Share the recipe and you can kick off your routine on the same foot!
