Don’t like protein and you prefer not to use protein powder for this No-Bake Protein Energy Bites recipe? You could use some flaxseed instead. I love all the health benefits of Flaxseed and it’s important to occasionally include this in your diet somehow. A lot of what we eat today may already have flaxseed so you don’t have to worry too much if you have a well-balanced diet.
Can you eat raw oats in energy balls?
The rolled oats you use to make an energy bites recipes are ok to be eaten raw so to speak. They are not crunchy like it seems and it is completely ok. They sort of soften up when combined with the honey or maple syrup along with the water and peanut butter.
