No-Bake Protein Energy Bites with SunButter®
Need a quick boost of energy and protein? These no-bake, snack-sized energy bites made with SunButter are just the pick-me-up you need.
As a family with two small children, we are always on-the-go. Between dog walks, adventures in the park, and chasing our 2-year-old daughter around, my wife and I barely have the energy to keep up.
Luckily, we came across this great recipe for allergy-friendly energy bites. They are chock full of healthy ingredients, and they’re free from many of the top food allergens.
We both love SunButter, as does our daughter (“peen butter” she calls it). So naturally, these easy-to-make protein energy balls were a hit! And did I mention they’re no-bake?
