How-to-Use:
Athletes: Grab a couple of bites for a fast, filling snack throughout your busy days.
Healthy Eating: A balanced snack with carbs, protein, and fat helps us stay fuller for longer. Try 1 - 2 bites as a snack between meals or for a bite of something sweet at night.
Kids: My kids still prefer energy bites with chocolate but the crunch of the freeze dried strawberries is pretty legit too.
Substitutions:
Whey protein: you can use flavored whey protein or try plant based protein, they may change the flavor & texture. Plant based protein may require fewer oats, start with less and add to desired texture.
Peanut butter & powder: you can sub almond butter & almond butter powder if there is a peanut allergy.
Freeze dried strawberries: can’t find them? You can always add any flavor chocolate chip or other dried fruit. You may need more oats for the right texture + start with ¼ cup add ins.
