We learned how to make these raw energy bites in a Goodness Me! whole food cooking class. I still have a hard time believing they're good for you. Usually anything I get cravings for is unhealthy, but I find myself wanting these things all. the. time. They're right up there with chocolate. Charity fondly calls them "Timbits" (you might have to be Canadian to get that).
If you've committed to eating healthy (good for you!), Snicker Snackers are a guilt-free indulgence for when the urge to eat something rich is just too strong.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup seasame seeds
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa or carob powder
- 1/4 cup ground flax
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
Combine ingredients in blender. Roll into small balls (refrigerate mixture for 1/2 an hour if it's too soft). Store in an air-tight container and keep refrigerated.

Oh my goodness this sounds healthy and delicious!! I mus try this!!
ReplyDeleteThis sound Yummy but we don't have any almond butter, would natural peanut butter work in this recipe?
ReplyDeleteDawn: Yes, peanut butter works just as well. :-)
DeleteI make something similar - I actually posted the recipe yesterday: http://behealthybehappywellness.com/blog/2012/05/tuesday-tip-make-your-own-snacks but I use peanut butter and don't include the seeds or flax - I might have to add them in and give it a try - sounds delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jacinda they sound yummy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you ~I can't wait to try these!
ReplyDeleteThis is such perfect timing! My friend just gave me a similar "cookie ball" to try yesterday (which was yummy!), and I was thinking about making something like this today... and here is a recipe. :-) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow yummy! can't wait to make this - need some time!

These look delicious! I am a new subscriber to your site, but am loving the new recipes that are healthy and not too time consuming. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTried them tonight, tasty, but was way to thick for my blender. I ended up using a hand mixer and that worked well for me. Will try again and maybe add a smidge more honey or maybe coconut soy milk!
ReplyDeleteJust made them....way to thick for my blender as well. I dumped it all in a bowl and hand mixed. The only thing I added in addition to the other ingredients was kosher salt....sprinkled it on once I rolled them in balls. Oh, and I used toasted wheat germ instead of the ground flax. They are yummy. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese look AWESOME!!!!! :-) Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to snack on these. Yum!

ReplyDeleteThese look great. I'm going to try them for my boys. I *need* to find some more healthy, filling snack options. It seems like they are always hungry. :-)
mmmmmmm! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent! :) I saw on another website that they are about 70cal each. So I say that 2 of these with a serving of low fat yogurt makes a great snack!
