Quick Easy & Delicious
If you’re looking for a pre or post-workout snack that’s easy to make, delicious, and packed with the protein your body needs after a workout then this post is for you.
This recipe is quick, simple, and fun enough to even get the children involved. As much as it is a good protein-enriched workout snack the children will also love them as well. The flavors are completely customizable and can be adjusted to suit a variety of cravings.
By now you might be wondering what is this quick protein enriched snack that not only I would love but my children would love as well.
Right now you’re probably thinking oh this again but if you have not gone out and tried them you do not know what you’re missing. I live with a picky eater and if I can sell it to my wife trust me you will love it. With their texture having a slight crunch and the smooth peanut butter flavor they’ll quickly become any one’s favorite new snack.
If you don’t like peanut butter you can substitute it with almond or cashew butter and for the kiddos, they will love the twist Nutella puts on this snack. You can chop up your favorite nuts and even add in dried fruit and chocolate chips. Get creative and give your taste buds what they have been missing. But remember stay healthy.
With all the chalky tasting protein powders and protein-enriched nutrient bars out there that I cannot act like I don’t use sometimes, we all want something that is pleasing to our taste buds as well as beneficial to our Muscle Recovery and we all know a lot of times that’s not the case.
With no-bake energy bites, you can have a quick delicious tasting protein enriched snack on the go and as close as your refrigerator for those moments at protein shakes and protein bars might be what your body does need but it’s not what your taste buds are craving at the moment.
