Ingredients
Energy Snack Ingredients
- ⅔ cup finely chopped raw almonds (or use roasted, salted almonds for a sweet-and-salty twist)
- ⅓ cup dried blueberries
- 1 ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup almond butter (peanut butter works too!)
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt (recommended for flavor balance)
Instructions
Snack Preparation
- To get started, I grab a large mixing bowl and toss in all of the ingredients — oats, chopped almonds, dried blueberries, almond butter, honey, and a pinch of salt (if I’m using it). Then, using a sturdy spoon or spatula, I stir everything together until the mixture is evenly combined. It may seem a little sticky at first, but that’s exactly what helps it all hold together.
- Once everything is mixed, I use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture. Then, with damp hands (this really helps prevent sticking), I roll each scoop into a compact ball — about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. I place each one on a rimmed baking sheet or small tray.
Setting and Storing
- Once all the bites are shaped, I slide the tray into the refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour. This step helps the snacks firm up and hold their shape better.
- After the snacks have set, I transfer them into an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to 1 week, although let’s be honest — mine rarely last that long!Storage tip: You can also freeze them! Just place the rolled bites in a freezer-safe container or bag. They’ll last for up to 2 months, and I like to thaw them for a few minutes before eating (or just eat them frozen — still delicious).
