I’ve had a bit of a change of heart in the last 2 weeks or so; I’m really into my running (RAK half marathon last weekend, and have registered for another half marathon on 7th March) and I want to eat healthier lately.
Now, we all know that I am no fan of salads but I do want to find meals that rank high up on the healthy and energetic scales. I know that my running will benefit hugely from it, and with things in the running department going so well, I’m quite looking forward to the results 🙂
I came across a recipe for protein bites on a blog that I was perusing a few days ago and I decided that I’d start with these; they require minimal preparation, no baking or cooking, and, according to the blog, are super healthy and great for pre-run snacks, or post-dinner snacks. And while they might look like “cat vomit” (according to one of my friends’ views on the photo), they taste delicious 😛
I left out the coconut that is mentioned because I couldn’t find any on the night I wanted to make them. And a tip for myself to note (everyone else is welcome to it too) is to put the wet ingredients (peanut butter and honey) into the mixing bowl first. I made an almighty mess trying to do it the other way around (would have a photo if my hands hadn’t been such a mess 😉 )

Sounds healthy and delicious.

Yes they are – I’m still making my way through that first batch 🙂

They look good and easy to make but so high in fat (even if it’s healthy fat). I’d add more oats and substitute at least half of the peanut butter for applesauce.

Thanks so much for the comment; I’m hopeless at knowing what to put into recipes and generally rely 100% on what they say…. I really like your idea!
I’ll give them a try next time and will let you know how it goes 🙂
