40+ Healthy Whole Food Energy Bite Recipes created by registered dietitians. Snacking is a no-brainer with these healthy energy bite recipes that are sure to satisfy!
Energy Bites (or snack balls) have recently become one of my favorite ways to snack lately. They are just the perfect size to grab one (or two) and head out and about. I also love having them on hand for when I get back from running and I have a healthy snack with some protein, carbs and healthy fats.
My toddler loves energy bites, too. He helps me make them in the kitchen and they are just the right size for toddler hands and mouths. I do not use any protein powders in the energy bites I make, ensuring they are kid-friendly. Plus, I don’t like the aftertaste of most protein powders. I prefer to stick to whole food ingredients, when possible.
For your convenience (and who am I kidding, mine, too!), I’ve rounded up the best of the best healthy energy bite recipes made without protein powders. All the recipes listed here are made with whole food ingredients and are developed by registered dietitians. I have also indicated which ones are gluten-free (assuming gluten-free oats), nut-free (assuming coconut is safe), dairy-free and/or vegan.
- GF = Gluten-Free
- NF = Nut-Free
- DF = Dairy Free
- V = Vegan
