Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to add some extra protein- super good! We use these for our XC runner and softball tournaments!
Yes! We love adding protein powder as well. Thanks Tracy!
Hello I am excited to make these? How many scoops of protein powder would be a good addition to this recipe? Would almond butter be okay to substitute the peanut butter? Thank you!
Thanks Caitlin! It really depends on the scoop size, but when I add protein powder I usually add a scoop at a time and then as much as will still combine well and keeps the consistency. And yes, the almond butter will be a good substitute.
Could I use regular oats as I have no quick oats!
Hi Annie. Yes, you could use regular oats as a substitute .
My son is a college football player and snacks on these all the time! I freeze them in small batches and take them to him when we go to a game!
That’s great Patty! Glad he likes them. Thanks!
Was wondering if you have ever added flaxseed. If so how much?
Hi Lou. Yes, we have added 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of ground flaxseed to these energy bites as well.
What are the carbs and calories??
Hi Billie Jo. Each bite has 129 calories with 17g carbs.
My husband loves these, and when my adult children come over, they go straight to the refrigerator to see if we have made. Great when you just want a little something.
