Managing Cravings

An important question to ask before eating – am I hungry?

Eating when stressed happens to all of us. It is a normal part of life, however if it happens too often, it can lead to even more stress and no one needs that!

I’ve also included a great guide to all our favorite “bad” food cravings, which breakdown the why behind the craving and what “healthy” food we should reach for to help us conquer this battle.

7 Ways to Make No-Bake Energy Bites

Today, we’re diving deep into the world of energy bites, everyone’s favorite meal prep snack recipe!

Energy bites are a great healthier treat, packed with protein thanks to a nut butter base, chia seeds and ground flax. They are sweet enough that you feel like you just had a treat, and filling enough to keep you going when you’re on empty.

Not only that but they are so convenient to grab on your way out the door.

Swaps in this no bake energy bite recipe:

honey and maple syrup are interchangeable
natural nut butters are interchangeable, however non-natural nut butters are not recommended for this recipe (they don’t set properly and are overly sweet)
if you don’t have coconut oil, try an extra tablespoon of nut butter
if you can’t find ground flax, add 2 extra tablespoons of rolled oats

Storing your no-bake energy bites:

Short term: Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Your energy bites are good for a week or so.
Long term: Store in plastic bags in the freezer. Freeze on a cookie sheet for one hour before transferring to a ziplock plastic bag in the freezer. *Remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag*
To thaw: place in the fridge overnight
