Being a self employed Do-er of ALL thing things, keeping healthy snacks on hand and ready to munch on has be come pretty essential to daily survival. Yes, SURVIVAL!

So on the weekends, I like to get a little bit ahead and make up a batch of these YUMMY Nutty Chocolate No Bake Energy Bites!!

These also freeze well! So if you’re in the mood to double or triple the recipe and stick some in the freezer, go for it! When I freeze them I use a freezer friendly plastic container and separate the “layers” with a piece of wax paper. And when you’re ready eat them, just let them defrost for 30 minutes or so and you’re good to go!

    These look good. I like having them around the house when I need a little lift, which is usually around 730 after dinner. I’ve pinned these to try. Thanks for sharing!

    These look delicious and what a fabulous idea for the summer. A healthy snack that I could so do with as I am the most disorganised eater too. They sound like they are packed with flavour as well as healthy nutrition. What a great recipe. Thank you so much for bringing them to #FiestaFriday

    These look delicious – I haven’t added protein powder to my energy balls yet, and they’ve never made it as far as the freezer either! I will (attempt) to try both! Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday.
