When eating healthy it is so important to snack. We are supposed to eat six small meals a day so you feel like you are grazing throughout the day. I wanted to make a snack that I could eat before I worked out that would give me energy and help fuel me for my workout.
I found a recipe online for “no-bake oatmeal cookies” and I took a look at the recipe and figured out how I could make it vegan and even healthier. I wanted to make these energy nuggets so I could grab something healthy in a pinch and not eat anything processed.
What you will need:
1 cups oats
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons crushed pecans
2 tablespoons coconut flakes
1 tablespoon hemp hearts
1 tablespoon flax powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons Vega One chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon chocolate PB2 protein powder
4 tablespoons almond butter
½ cup almond milk
Preparation:
Put all dry ingredients together in a medium to large sized bowl. Add almond butter and mix completely together using your hands. Pour in almond milk and mix again. Roll and form 10 balls out of the batter. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
These energy nuggets are hard to stop eating, I ate three right away. I feel as though cooking doesn’t need to be so strict, feel free to add anything else you would like to like goji berries or other nuts. Also you can substitute any other nut-butter for the almond butter for you would like and that goes for the almond milk as well.
Let us know what you think of these energy nuggets and what you add to yours to improve this recipe. We look forward to hearing from you, until next time… eat healthy, appreciate life and believe in yourself. Peace!
