Puffed Rice & Tahini Energy Bites Recipe

These healthy, no bake energy bites are my go-to snack when I need a quick, low-calorie chocolate fix. They’re delicious, easy to make, light and rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins E and B. Each puffed rice and tahini bite has 46 calories, which is half the amount of energy you’ll find in a classic peanut butter power ball, and approximately 3 gr of fat, 5 gr of carbs and 1 gr of protein. Pair these chocolaty snacks with a cup of green tea and you’ll be good for at least 2 more hours of desk work!

Puffed Rice & Tahini Energy Bites Recipe

Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 0 min | Yields: 5 bites

Ingredients

+ 1/2 cup popped rice
+ 2 tsp honey
+ 2 tsp homemade tahini
+ 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
+ 2 tbsp walnuts

Directions

Finely chop 1 tbsp of walnuts and grind the other half in a food processor to get a really fine flour. In a medium-size bowl, mix the walnut flour with the honey, tahini and cocoa powder. Add the puffed rice and the chopped walnuts to the mix and combine all the ingredients until everything is blended evenly. Take a spoonful of the mixture and roll between your hands to form a small ball. Eat these energy bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Enjoy!
