the seaweed secret

In this No Bake Kelp Energy Bite recipe, we've taken protein bites to a whole new level by incorporating a surprising yet incredibly nutritious ingredient: Maine-grown organic seaweed.

Not only does it add a slightly salty and subtle depth to the flavor profile of these bites, but it also contributes to your daily dose of essential nutrients. We proudly introduce you to the Organic Alaria Flakes, which bring a touch of the ocean's goodness to every bite.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Makes: 12 balls

you'll need:

• 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup of peanut butter (chunky for added texture)
• 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
• 1/4 cup of chia seeds
• 3 tbsp of honey or maple syrup (preferably raw for its natural goodness)
• 2 tbsp of Organic Alaria Flakes
• 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp of cinnamon

directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of flavors and textures. If the mixture appears too dry, add a bit more peanut butter or honey. Conversely, if it's too wet, incorporate additional oats until you achieve the desired consistency.

For an optimal experience, refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes. While optional, this step makes shaping the bites a breeze.

Once chilled, take a small handful of the mixture and roll it between your palms, shaping it into a compact ball.

Repeat the process until all the mixture has been transformed into delectable protein bites.

Place your protein bites in a dish and store them in the refrigerator. Now comes the best part – savoring each bite whenever your heart desires!
