Instead of commercial energy bars, these delicious, rich, and most satisfying healthy bites are now my go-to-snack after vigorous exercise! I followed the recipe using a natural chunky peanut butter, but no chia, 2T flaxseeds, 1 t cinnamon and did not add additional nuts. My batch yielded 11 “big” bites. The first bite was a tiny bit crumbly so I froze the rest of the batch. This seemed to eliminate the crumbly effect and the bites are easy to eat right from the freezer. I’m not a nutritionist, but I calculated the calories at roughly 170 with 7 grams of protein. These are simply wonderful!
Hello, thanks for your feedback on freezing these bars. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed them!
I’m going to try this I hope it helps tks
