I don’t know why I have never shared this recipe with you all. I have been making energy bites for a couple of years now and these No Bake Trail Mix Energy Bites are by far my favorite! They are packed with protein and anti-oxidants which are great for post run workouts. Plus, they are a great on the go snack. Just grab a couple on your way out the door and you have a healthy and filling snack.
I’m a huge trail mix fan. I buy pre-made or ingredients to make my own every single week when I go shopping. I just love all the different varieties of flavors and textures. These energy bites seriously take less than 10 minutes to make. You have got to try them.
For this recipe is used 1/2 cup each of the following: dried cranberries, chopped pretzels, dried blueberries, sunflower seeds and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Those are all my favorite trail mix ingredients.
To act as a binder to hold all of the trail mix ingredients together, you need 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) and 1/3 cup of honey. Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix together until well incorporated.
After you have mixed all the ingredients together, place the bowl into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This just allows the mixture to set. Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and shape into 1 inch size balls. Store in an air tight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Your trail mix bites look really good, but where did you get that adorable hedgehog spatula???
I’ll definitely be giving these a try. Perhaps my 8yo would eat one. It would be a miracle but I tend to hold onto hope. LOL

I love that these are No bake!!
I have been on the lookout for healthy snacks — this is perfect!
These look so simple yet delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe on the Monday Funday Party!
These look good. I’d probably skip the pretzels to make them gluten free so my tummy could handle them, but I love all the fruit in there.
These look so tasty! I eat raisins with almonds at least every other day, and I usually end up throwing in pretzels, too. This looks like a great way to make all my favorite ingredients even more convenient! Visiting from Create it Thursday =)
I’m going to have to try these Katie! I love trail mix too–I just have to restrain myself from eating the whole bag! These look so easy, healthy, and delicious! Pinning!
Great recipe! I love treats like this. Found you on the weekend retreat link up.
