Energy Bites | Sam Eats Her Nutrients

I’m so glad you’re here! As many of you know, I’m a Certified Health Coach, and I’m passionate about creating recipes that help people feel their best. Recently, I’ve been incorporating Shaklee’s skincare and supplements into my daily routine after thoroughly researching the cleanest and safest brands on the market. After using their products for several months, I decided to become a Shaklee Wellness Advocate. My goal is to support you in feeling your best at any age with clean, science-backed nutrition and skincare. 💚

This February, I’m dreaming of spring! But let’s be honest: winter can leave us feeling a little sluggish, especially towards the end. That’s why I’m excited to share a new recipe to keep your energy up and help you sneak more greens into your day—all while treating your taste buds!

These Green Energy Bites are a simple, delicious way to boost your energy while sneaking in a serving of greens. They’re perfect for picky eaters because you can’t even taste the greens! For a kid-friendly version, I recommend using peanut butter and honey. My kids say they taste like no-bake cookies, which is a win in my book.

One of the key ingredients in this recipe is Shaklee’s Organic Greens Booster. I’ve been using greens powder for over a decade, and finding an organic option is so important because greens are highly concentrated and you don’t want anything but greens in there. Shaklee tests their products for heavy metals and other contaminants and has the highest of safety standards. Just one scoop of this booster equals a full cup of raw, organic vegetables—a mix of kale, spinach, and broccoli sprouts. It contains no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or colors, and it’s gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, and kosher.

Green Energy Bites

1 scoop Shaklee Organic Greens Booster

1 Cup Rolled Oats

1/2 Cup Nut Butter (Peanut, Almond, or Cashew)

1/4 Cup of Honey or Maple Syrup

1/2 Cup of Very Finely Chopped Nuts (pecans, walnuts, peanuts) (I’ve been using this mini express chopper for years and LOVE it)

1/4 Cup of Mini Dark Chocolate Chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)

1/2 tsp. Vanilla

1 pinch of salt

1 to 2 tablespoons of water if needed for consistency. Only if it’s not coming together.

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Grind your nuts in a mini food processor or chop them very finely. Stir together the oats and finely chopped nuts on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 7 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and runny warm honey (I used honey and warmed it in the microwave a few seconds until warm and runny) or maple syrup. Combine all the rest of the ingredients except mini chocolate chips. Stir until well mixed.

Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, form the balls into round balls, then drop them in the mini chocolate chips and coat them lightly. Place on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

These bites are perfect for an on-the-go snack, pre-workout fuel, or a healthy sweet treat!

New Recipe!

These nut and fruit snacks are really versatile and handy to have in your freezer.

I have been snacking on them for a while now and have also made several versions.

So, I am going to give you the template, and you personalize them!

You can make a double batch all at once. This recipe easily does that, or make a couple different variations. I find kids really like the ones with peanut butter and raisins.

Freezer Nut and Fruit Bites

1 Cup of Nuts of choice

1/4 Cup of Dried Fruit of Choice (if you are using larger dried fruit, make sure to dice it first)

1/4 Cup of Nut or Seed Butter

1 Tablespoon of Collagen (I use this brand)

1/4 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract

1/8 Teaspoon of Sea Salt

1/8 Teaspoon of Baking Soda

1/8 Teaspoon of Pure Monk Fruit (optional but adds a little more sweetness)

Directions:

In a food processor, pulse your nuts and fruit until chopped evenly. Then, add the remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture holds together when you squeeze it.

Nut and Fruit Bites

Pour the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, and form it into a rectangle about an inch thick. Place the rectangle of bites onto a cookie sheet with the parchment, still in one piece, and freeze for an hour. Remove it from the freezer, and with a large sharp knife, cut it into squares.

Nut Bites 2

Store the Nut and Fruit Bites in a sealed container in your freezer for as needed. Pop them in when you want a quick and healthy snack.

That’s it. Super easy and you will want to make them again and again.

I’ve made these with walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia and a large variety of different nut and seed butters including tahini. Make them nut free by using sunflower seed butter or tahini and sunflower or pumpkin seeds in place of the nuts.
