These sweet, no-bake energy bites are the perfect healthy treat. They are so easy to make and are convenient to bring while running, cycling, or hiking. These bites can also be tailored to your liking: you can sub out the peanut butter for almond butter, use chia seeds instead of flaxseeds, use a different kind of sweetener, and so on and so forth.
