Cranberry No Bake Energy Bites Recipe

Energy bites make excellent little snacks for after school, throughout the day, or as an afternoon pick-me-up. No bake energy bites are relatively easy to make. You get to control the ingredients and tweak to your liking. Grabbing these bites for a boost is usually way better than the packaged alternative.

No Bake Energy Bites

Many recipes for energy bites contain peanut butter. We made peanut butter oatmeal energy balls and loved them. Due to common peanut allergies, they are not the option for everyone. Even if your kids aren't allergic to peanut butter, you don't want to worry about their friends coming over after school who might have an allergy. Another much-loved attempt at homemade energy balls were pumpkin spice granola bites. These tasty morsels are packed with all sorts of nutrients and fiber and excellent for busy kids with crazy schedules.

Copycat Aussie Bites are another winner in the snack department. When we went hiking last month, we loaded up on trail mix and added in some of our favorite energy bites. During a strenuous adventure, the power snacks are the ultimate treat to have on hand. Taking small food and water breaks allowed us to explore Matthiessen State Park further during the intense heat.

Now, we have another scrumptious recipe to add to the power snacker lineup – cranberry no bake energy bites.
