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.

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.

Try these coconut date energy balls that taste like candy.

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.

    These are much better than those energy bars they sell in the grocery. You know exactly what’s in them.

    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.
