Raspberry Chocolate Energy Bites

Healthy, on-the-go snack.

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Energy bites make for the perfect healthy snack because they are a great balance of protein, carbs, healthy fats, and they are high in fiber. These are also easily portable, so they make for great lunchbox snacks, work snacks, or just small afternoon treats.

When choosing ingredients for these energy bites, we always want organic. Buying organic oats can help you decrease the amount of pesticide spray - glyphosate - which is commonly used by wheat farmers. This pesticide is linked to the increase risk of cancer, endocrine disruption, celiac disease, autism in children, and leaky gut syndrome. One brand that we LOVE here is called One Degree Organic Foods, they are a family farm that is transparent about how they grow their crops and certified glyphosate free! You can usually find these oats are your local health food store and even now in a bulk bag at Costco.

You could also choose to use fresh raspberries instead of frozen, but I love the bright pink hue color that the frozen raspberries bring to these bites, which are perfect for any celebration.
