Snack Idea: Easy No Bake Energy Bites

Providing The Dudes with healthful, filling snacks is a constant challenge.

Of course I can toss donuts and individually packaged junk foods at them to keep them full up, but it doesn’t last and it does so little for their overall nutrition and energy levels.

Especially when you take their activity levels into account.

My kids are extremely active. Yes, in the hey-I’m-a-kid-I-can-do-this-for-days normal sort of way, but also in the more organized athletics sort of way. They play hard, for extended periods of time, and they need good fuel to keep them engaged and competitive.

We recently discovered energizing granola bites as a way to make that happen.

Now, I can not prove that they are significantly more energetic as a result of consuming this treat, but I can say that they are very energetic when it comes to asking me to make it, and that they polish off enough of them to fill the belly of a baby elephant.

So, there’s that.

I used to make a small amount of these and everyone was just super annoyed when they were gone.

Now I make enough to add to lunch and serve after school for a week and I do it on the same day I make my breakfast sandwiches so we have a couple of things taken care of for the week.
