Hi, I’m about to make these. Can I use ground chia?
These energy bites look delicious. I like that they freeze too. I like to put frozen items in the children’s lunchboxes and then they are thawed, yet fresh, by the time they get to them. I will make some of these tomorrow. Yum.
Hi Edwina,
Thank you! That’s a great idea to pre-freeze them and then put them in a lunch box. I may try that myself when I’m on the go!
I absolutely love energy bites! Your brownie version looks just delicious! I love the simple & healthy ingredients. My son would love these 🙂
Thanks Melissa! I love keeping a batch of these in my fridge. They’re perfect to grab and go when your in a rush!
Beautiful images Jess, and love your simple recipe! Have a beautiful day! Dee xx
Thanks Dee! Have a lovey day too!
I’d love to give these a go for kids lunch boxes. Could you substitue seeds for the nuts? Thanks
Hi Pauline, you absolutely can! You can also play around and try different nuts if you prefer using almonds or pecans over walnuts!
