FitLifeGuide Tips
- Wet hands prevent sticking when rolling.
- Too crumbly? Add honey a teaspoon at a time. Too sticky? More oats.
- Keep refrigerated — they soften fast at room temperature.
Easy Variations
Nut-Free
Use sunflower-seed butter and skip the chips.
Chocolate
Add 2 tbsp cocoa and use chocolate protein.
Seedy
Fold in chia, flax or hemp hearts for fiber.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do energy bites keep?
One week refrigerated in a sealed container, or a month frozen. Thaw ten minutes before eating.
Can I use a different nut butter?
Any drippy nut or seed butter works — stiff commercial kinds need an extra spoon of honey.
Are these actually healthy?
As a snack, yes: portioned, protein-rich and far better than vending-machine equivalents. They are still treats, not meals.
