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.

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.

I eat oats and flaxseed meal I grind myself, every day, so this recipe is for me. I love all the ingredients and usually leave out the sugar or sweetening since the fruit is enough sweetness for me.
