peanut butter power bites
These are a favorite with my friends and family! They taste like candy, but they provide your body with some really powerful nutrients. Peanut butter is packed with magnesium & protein which are both vitally important for healthy muscle growth. Flaxseed is a great supplier of Omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health & is important to work into any plant-based diet. And the dark chocolate… well that’s just good for your mood!
I usually include these in my breakfast, along with my favorite smoothie & some whole wheat toast. But with all that protein and magnesium, these can be a great snack to have on your way to the gym!
What You’ll Need:
1 heaping cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of flaxseed (not ground!)
2 tablespoons of honey or agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
To Make It:
Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl & mix by hand until fully combined.
Roll mixture into approx. 1-inch balls & place on a non-stick cookie sheet.
Place the full cookie sheet into the freezer, let sit overnight. They’ll be ready for breakfast the next morning!
