Husband approved no bake protein snacks

Sundays can be for lounging around, but in our kitchen – we’re doing *a lot* of food prep. Thankfully this one is no bake and tastes like a treat!

Thankfully I found one that is a no bake snack, because our oven is currently occupied with breakfast and lunch. There’s no room left to bake anything else in there– nor any time!

Needing to stay satisfied for long hours at work, I decided to go back to my own archives and think of something that would be quick and easy, and really healthy – no bake protein balls!

Now these don’t have any protein powder, it’s just ground flax seeds. Which is going to give you your protein and keep you satisfied for long periods of time.

Dairy-free chocolate chunks are in here! I wanted it to be dairy-free, don’t want to have to take extra Lactaid, or worry about being gassy…

The old-fashioned oat is probably one of the most adaptable budget foods, whether it’s homemade granola, ground up for flour, or baked into cookies, oats are the bees knees.

If your cutting board is like mine, and slides all over the place, I’ve seen other home cooks put a towel underneath. When I remember to do this, it helps so much.

You could use regular milk chocolate or chip shape to skip the chopping, but if you want to keep this snack dairy-free I found these semi-sweet chunks at Trader Joe’s.

I hadn’t had flaxseed in a very long time, I knew it was a little too hippy for the husband. But mixed with peanut butter, a little sweetener, and chocolate – these were husband approved!

On a cookie tray, line it with foil or parchment paper, and scoop servings that are about golf-ball size. This recipe will make 12 balls of that size, about 6 servings. Freeze until set, about 1 hour.

After these have set, and I’m transfer them to a storage container. I like to use the kind that left over from … leftovers! ^_^ Cause I mean you still paid for them technically.

If you’re not used to having the ground flaxseed, these might look not all that appetizing… Definitely earthy with the ground flaxseed. Has a very wholesome flavor and texture to them. I like the crunchiness of the oats. Definitely a *winner* with the chocolate! Feels more like a special treat, and it’s gonna give you that sugar boost that you probably need. “Yes! I can get through this!”

Coconut Apricot Bites

At the beginning of the year, I came up with the brilliant idea to go back and clean up old posts with better pictures, pinnable images, fix broken links, etc.  My hope was to try to update a recipe and/or workout at least once a month. I did one and forgot about that goal. Until today! Yesterday it was a rainy, miserable day. We were stuck inside so it was the perfect time for meal and snack…

I found a great no bake recipe for some energy bites.  I often get a little tired around the 2-3pm hour at work and need a sweet pick me up--well, I don't have to reach for the chocolate crap anymore!  These little bites of goodness are full of healthy needs, oats, flaxseed, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate.  I threw in some raisins because they were laying around!  Here is the link...they are YUMMY!!!
