PB Energy Bites
I don't know about you, but I get so frustrated when I don't have a quick and easy snack to grab when I'm rushing out the door. Some days, I don't have time to prepare something and I end up resorting to fast food, which we all know leads to nowhere good. Today, I'm sharing my recipe for these delicious peanut butter chocolate chip energy bites that take just a few minutes to prepare and you can keep them in your fridge for easy access when you are on the go.
This recipe is gluten-free and can be easily altered to make them vegan, plus you can swap out the chocolate chips for dried fruit and the peanut butter for another type of nut butter, Make them how you want them and I promise you, they'll be delicious!
