Healthy No-Bake Energy Bites in Two Ways

Here is a simple recipe for Healthy No-Bake Energy Bites in Two Ways. Make and keep these Grab-n-Go Energy Bites handy to get you through your day.

Whether you are heading out to work, or for a day at the park, or on a road trip, These Healthy No-Bake Energy Bites in Two Ways are perfect snack to keep hunger at bay.

Loaded with nutrients, these portable snacks carry the goodness from Oats, Peanuts, Seeds and good sources of fat. Addition of some extra protein in the form of Protein Powder makes these Energy Bites a perfect Pre/Post Workout Snack.

There is no cooking involved to make these. Only roasting of all ingredients is required to enhance the flavor. And for seeds like flax and sesame, roasting helps to crisp up and bring out the natural oil which lends a shiny texture to these bites.

I have used natural sweeteners like Dates and Honey in this recipe. For the Vegan option, you can replace Honey with Maple syrup.

Flaxseeds are not new to India cuisines. They have been available and in use since decades. Consumed in every region of India, we know them with different names in different states like Tisi, Alsi, Jawas.

These days, of course, flax seed is considered a staple in the nutrition world and is known for being an excellent source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.

Two Delicious Ways to make this recipe

You can make these Healthy No-Bake Energy Bites in Two Ways. The first way is to dry roast all ingredients (except wet ones) and then directly make balls without grinding them. This tastes equally delicious and saves grinding time.

The pictures below represent the second way wherein I have ground all dry ingredients after roasting and then added wet ingredients and formed balls. Depending on whether you prefer coarse or fine texture for the balls, you can pick your option.
