Today we’re going to talk about snacks! The bestest most amazing thing in the world, if you ask me. There are those who would argue that eating between meals is unhealthy. Others would say that eating 5-6 small meals a day is the way to go. I fall more in the latter group, +/- a few actual bigger meals as well.
What can I say? I have a healthy appetite.
Speaking of snacks, I saw this quote online this week that said “how do I stop eating chips and salsa? Do they run out…or do I die….or what”? That’s prettyy much how I feel about snacks. Especially chips + salsa. Oh and these Vegan No Bake Brownie Bites!
I mean, come on. Bite sized pieces of chocolatey goodness? Count. Me. In.
Ok, you caught me. I actually used carob powder in these bites because I’m trying to avoid the caffeine in chocolate. But carob tastes so similar that I honestly could barely tell a difference! Have you ever tried carob? It’s flavor is reminiscent of chocolate, with slightly earthy undertones.
I feel like I’m describing a fine wine over here!
These couldn’t be more simple to make. Throw everything into a bowl, mix, and roll into balls! They don’t require any chill time in the fridge so you can have these together in minutes.
5 reasons to try these Vegan No Bake Brownie Bites:
- Tastes like a brownie
- Comes together in 1 bowl and under 10 minutes
- Good for you ingredients like flax, gluten free rolled oats, and sunflower seed butter
- Super customizable
- Vegan + gluten free + refined sugar free
I store these in the fridge for when I need a quick snack at home, or even on the go! They pack/travel well so they are ideal for taking to work as a snack (which I do often), or even as a healthy treat to take along when traveling.
Enjoy!
