I love how portable energy bites are, they're one of my favourite ways to get a quick energy boost on the go. There's nothing more satisfying than a snack that tastes like an indulgent treat but that you know is actually good for you. 

These No-Bake Brownie Energy Bites taste like a fudgy dark chocolate brownie but are made with ingredients that are nutritious and beneficial to our health.

How to Make No Bake Energy Bites

Making energy bites is relatively easy. Most recipes require basic ingredients that can be found in your grocery store or health food store.

A food processor helps speed up the time it takes to transform the dates into a paste and mix in the remainder of the ingredients.

Once you have the right consistency, rolling the mixture into balls is easy and you can even get your kids to help. And since they are meant to be eaten raw there is no need to bake them.

They're also easily adaptable to suit your tastes and can be made with seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, chia) instead of nuts to avoid any problems with allergies or to make them safe for school snacks.

If you like, you can roll the energy bites into dry coconut flakes, finely chopped nuts (or seeds) or cocoa powder.

These Brownie Energy Bites are full of ingredients that are good for you, contain no refined sugar and are a great snack for you and your active family.

Enjoy!

      Hello Faith, popped quinoa is quinoa that has been popped (similar to the way you pop popcorn), you can often find it already popped in the healthy cereal section of your grocery store. But if you can't buy it popped, you can pop quinoa at home. Here's a great link from Bon Appétit that explains how to do it: http://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/how-to/article/get-it-poppin. Hope this helps and thanks for asking!
