Food Ideas | Energy Bites
Lets take a YL time-out to chat about one of our FAVORITE recipes for energy bites. They're no-bake which gives them an A+ in my book. They taste like a cookie! Don't tell the kiddos that they are full of protein and are naturally sweetened.

*If the mix seems to dry, add in an extra tablespoon or two of honey or peanut butter. If the mix seems too wet (which may happen if you use natural peanut butter), add extra oatmeal.
ENJOY!
