Do Energy Bites have to be refrigerated
No-bake energy bites are best when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You can leave out for a few hours if you don’t like to have them cold. But I recommend you store them in a cooler temperature.
How do you store energy bites
To keep them as fresh as possible, its best to store them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1 week. Making a huge batch? You can store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat them, just leave them overnight in the fridge or leave on your kitchen counter for a couple of hours.
Why are energy bites good for you
No bake energy bites are good for you for many reasons. They are loaded with fiber, high in protein and contains good fats. High fiber food keeps you fuller while the high protein boosts your metabolism and promotes weight loss. Healthy fats found in the peanut butter or any nut butter has been associated with lowering the risk of heart disease.

Quick question, what would you advise for ppl who don’t like too much sweetness. I find my dang whey is sweet to begin with and when I add my sweetener (depending on recipe) that it can be on the verge of too sweet (never thought I’d say that). I’m scared to use less sweetener and have my recipe not stick together.
Rena Awada says
Swap the sweetener with water. The sweetener does help everything bind together though

Made these for the first time today. What is the serving size? 1 ball? 2 balls? I stopped at 2 but even the recipe doesnt say serving size (unless I overlooked it). Definitely will be making again, next time with flax seed.
Rena says
Hi there. It’s one ball. Flaxseed sounds great
Rachel says
Made these tonight and they were super good! 🙂 I also added some chia seeds! I think I will leave as a crumble and put atop some Halo Top ice cream!!!
Rena says
