High Protein Energy Bites
Preparation:10 minutes
Yields: 20-25 bites
Serving Size: 1 ball
Ingredients
1 cup crispy puffed rice cereal
1/2 cup chopped unsalted pretzels
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup almonds, roughly chopped
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional)
Directions
- Stir all ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. (This step makes the mixture easier to shape.)
- Remove and shape into small 1-inch balls, or press into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking pan to make granola bars.
- Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
**It is not essential that these be refrigerated, but it helps the balls to keep their shape.
