All right well let’s face it you know sometimes you just need a quick bite something to ease those hunger pains in between meals but you know what that can get tricky and get you in trouble because you don’t want something prepackaged it’s full of sugar and it’s
Going to blow your good eating plan board certified holistic nutritionist this is Jolene Goring you know her you love her we love her when she comes on she’s going to show us how to make some easy no bake you like to call them energy bites but are they good for you
You know what they’re good for you and they taste delicious oh good this is a recipe ever since I was a child in Canada ingredients just kind of tell us what you’ve got as you dump it in there the the best thing is you can go through
Your pantry and you can use whatever you have so you can modify almost anything here based on what you like what your kids like and just what you have to use it up oh I love it so we have the option we can use oatmeal or we can use some of
My favorite cereal what would you prefer um oo both okay let’s let’s dump this one in okay okay oatmeal so it’s about a a cup of oatmeal we’re going to put in there all right and what we’re going to do next is add some Nut Butter I love
Peanut butter I think you mentioned you do too my favorite I like to use natural peanut butter the only ingredient should be peanuts and you’re going to see there’s a bit of oil separation yes this is normal people get freaked out about this completely normal it means it’s a
Natural product there’s no chemicals that are holding it all together that’s what we want so all we need to do is just Stir It Up a little bit right it gets the oil all mixed in should you refrigerate this once you open it I like
To you don’t need to if you’re going to use it within two to three weeks I like to keep it in the fridge and just take little spoonfuls right so these bites what we’re going to do if you want to do it actually help me out we’re going to
Put I it’s about a third of a cup but I’ve made this so much I just put a couple big spoonfuls in okay the great thing is when you’re not baking it you can modify as you go along and you can kind of add what works best for you yeah and I guess
Once you make them a lot you’ll kind of figure out you know right exactly that looks perfect right there okay so we got the peanut butter next up is the sweetener I love peanut butter and honey ooh that’s one of my favorite right so once again I like to use raw honey that
Means it’s not processed as much I’m all about natural foods that’s my thing so we’ll add about a third of a cup of honey so we’ll just squeeze it in here depending on how sweet you like it you can add more or less and you can taste
It as you go okay so if you want to mix those up you can if you have honey that’s great if you would prefer to use something like maple syrup that’s good as well if you like Agave so as long as it’s a liquid sweetener it’s going to
Help to bind all of this together okay what’s the difference between a go and honey basically it’s different plants that make it my favorite is honey it has the most nutrients and it’s just it’s probably the least expensive to out of everything most people have honey in their Pantry but they’re both considered
A sweetener right they are yeah a liquid sweetener now we’re going to add one of my other favorite ingredients coconut oil love coconut oil so good for you you can rub it on your skin you can put it in any recipe and this actually it’s called a
Medium medium chain fatty acid it does not get stored as fat in your body it actually teaches your body how to burn fat oh so we can actually call these fat burning energy bites good that’s even better it’s getting better and better so we’ve got the Coconuts okay chocolate
Who doesn’t love chocolate chips are you okay with this absolutely for it dark chocolate yes and they’re mini if you use regular chocolate chips they’re not going to stick together very well oh so make sure you use the mini I’ve tried the regular not so good that’s a great
Tip so that’s a great consistency I’m going to add a little bit more cereal just to make them bind together even that much more so this is where you can kind of play around see what texture you like cuz we’re going to form these into little balls okay we’re going to have
About a minute to do that perfect so I’m going to add a Sprinkle of Himalayan salt what this does add to everything brings out the flavor it balances it alkalizes it cinnamon helps to balance your blood sugar that’s always good and it’s full of antioxidants so now we get
To get kind of dirty I love it okay so what we can do here and the kiddos will love this all we’re going to do is create little tiny balls just like this and you can see how they’re a little bit sloppy that is fine and you’re going to
Put them on a pan right these little balls and put them in the fridge for about an hour and they’re going to set up they’re going to solidify okay okay so these are going to taste really great you know what I’m going to add a little bit more cereal
It’s kind of hot in here so it’s a little soupy the great thing is it’s pretty easy to modify you just add a little more you just keep going and going and and all of these ingredients that you have over here uh what can you you these are just something what you
Can do once these solidify a little bit you can actually roll them in we’ve got cocoa powder we’ve got chia seeds we’ve got coconut you can use crushed nuts pretty much anything so you can make these little balls like I say when kids help you make things they’re going to
Want to eat it more right so you can actually kind of crush these together yeah so basically what you’re going to want to do there is put them in the fridge let them set up a little bit kind of like hay stacks almost okay right so this is parchment paper here so you’re
Going to put them in the parchment paper put them in the fridge they’re going to solidify the coconut oil is going to really hold it all together you’re messy look at look at how neat you are I love it kind is like all over the kitchen a
Little L retentive I am okay taking over the space so um so here’s the deal it goes in the refrigerator and sounds like you should store them in the refrigerator to keep them that way and just grab one bite at a time exactly and you can yeah you can take them
Throughout the day and they’re fine but store them in the fridge or the freezer the freezer is great too so how do they taste oh my go they so good I know aren’t they delicious jene you’re amazing thank you very healthy very delicious and a little energy at the
