As the mom to three kids ages {just barely} 5 and under, I am well-acquainted with the feeling of being exhausted and drained. It’s not a fun feeling and I like to nix it as soon as I can when I drag myself out of bed in the morning. After all, I have a TON of work to do! And it all requires my focused attention.

There are a lot of things out there that boost energy. Like energy drinks. Or cereal bars. The problem I find with most of these is they’re flat not good for you (like energy drinks) or they are chock full of processed ingredients which both my health and my weight need to do without.

So here’s a simple yet yummy and effective recipe that I rely on time and time again. This recipe is adapted from one shared on Young Living’s blog. It is a tasty, gluten-free, healthful, energy-boosting recipe that is super easy to make. And the best part–it’s no bake! So I can whip up some of these energy bites in about five minutes flat.

Cuisine n/a

Ingredients

1 c. Young Living NingXia Wolfberries
3/4 c. coconut butter
2 tbsp. raw honey, melted
1/4 tsp. Real Salt
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 drops Young Living Vitality essential oil of choice, ideas listed in the notes below
1 c. cacao nibs
1 c. hemp seeds

Instructions

Put all ingredients except the cacao nibs and hemp seeds in a food processor. Process until broken into tiny bits.
Add the cacao nibs and hemp seeds. Process some more. The cacao nibs will break in half and the hemp seeds will largely remain whole.
Roll into bite-sized balls. Refrigerate until firm.

Notes

Lemon Vitality, Cinnamon Bark Vitality, Clove Vitality, Orange Vitality, Tangerine Vitality, Citrus Fresh Vitality, and Grapefruit Vitality essential oils are great flavor enhancers for these bites.
