NO-BAKE ENERGY BITES

Serving: These energy bites make a great snack before or after a workout, or just as an afternoon pick-me-up. Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a balanced snack.
Storage: Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If you prefer them cold, they will stay firm and crunchy.

Variations
Nut-Free: If you need a nut-free version, substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter.
Sweetened with Dates: Instead of honey or maple syrup, you can blend pitted dates with a bit of water to create a natural sweetener.
Add-ins: Add dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots for more texture and flavor.
Superfoods: Boost the nutrition by adding a spoonful of spirulina powder, cacao nibs, or a tablespoon of protein powder.
FAQ

3. How can I make these bites vegan?
To make these bites vegan, simply use maple syrup instead of honey, and ensure you’re using a plant-based nut butter.
