Are you a dedicated breakfast eater?
I tend to grab and go, maybe a yogurt, or a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter, and I am fairly addicted to these peanut butter bites from Skippy
They are great for grabbing for a quick breakfast or snack on the run
I decided to try making my own version with non-mystery ingredients
You can see the ingredients in Skippy’s P B Bites here
Organic oats, honey roasted almond slices, roasted unsalted sunflower seed kernels, all combine to amp up the protein and good fats
And mini chocolate chips for, well, CHOCOLATE!
I used mini milk chocolate chips but use dark chocolate for maximum health benefits,
read about the proven nutritional benefits of dark chocolate here
Put dry ingredients in a shallow bowl or on a rimmed plate
Plop a blob place a dollp of peanut butter down in the dry ingredients and using 2 spoons, divide it into smaller portions and roll it around to cover peanut butter
Once it’s fairly well covered, use your fingers to form into ball shapes and press additional dry ingredients over the surface
Refrigerate to set, and store balls in a covered container in the refrigerator
You can also use almond butter instead of peanut butter or use any ingredients you like, dried fruit or raisins, other nuts, granola…endless combinations~
They are a healthy choice, but are high in calories, so you want to limit your serving size
