"So good and so good for you. Every time I make these power bites, I am begged for the recipe.
"They are a hit with both kids and adults, and always disappear quickly.
"For a real superfood treat, add 1 teaspoon spirulina powder and 1 teaspoon maca root powder to the mix. Spirulina will make the mixture turn green, but the essential amino acids it provides for your brain are worth a little color!"
Peanut Butter Power Bites
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (you can choose gluten-free if you prefer)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 7 or 8 Medjool dates
- Dash of maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons smooth organic peanut butter
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
Preparation:
- Step 1. In a food processor, combine the oats and cinnamon. Blend until the oats reach a flourlike consistency. Add the dates and maple syrup. Blend until a paste forms.
- Step 2. Add the peanut butter and blend until well combined and doughy. Depending on your food processor, you might need to add a couple of tablespoons of warm water to reach the desired consistency.
