I hardly eat protein bars or energy bites, but the ones that were provided at my job, made by our RD, I absolutely enjoyed. It did not taste chalky or grainy. With protein and fiber ingredients blended together you are good to go for a mini snack!
With these 5 ingredients, you too can make and enjoy a healthy and tasty energy bite to go!
Ingredients:
1 cup of mejoles dates, chopped
1/4 cup tahini (sesame butter)
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
1-1/2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
1/3 cup sesame seeds
Directions:
Place dates in a food processor and pulse for approximately 30 seconds until it looks like a paste (you may need to add a few tablespoons of water)
Melt tahini and chocolate chips in a small glass microwave- safe bowl in the microwave on HIGH for approximately 30 seconds.
Add the microwaved tahini and chocolate chips to the dates in the food processor, and pulse until well blended.
Add Rice Krispies to the food processor and pulse a few times to mix them with the blend. (Do not crush them)
Using a wet tablespoon, scoop blend of ingredients out of the processor and roll into small balls in the palm of your hand (wet hands make process easier)
Roll balls in sesame seeds, then store in fridge or freezer. Can be stored for up to 1 week
