Recipe: Snack Attack Energy Bites

Recipe: Snack Attack Energy Bites

Get more energy with these delicious energy bites!

I talk to a lot of mammas (and dads too!) and many of them are rushing from place to place without thinking of what they’re going to eat during the day.

We are busier than ever and it’s so (so!) important to make sure that we have time to eat nutrient-dense meals throughout the day so we avoid getting ‘hangry’.

It’s when we’re hangry that we’re more apt to stop at Timmy’s for a glazed donut.

If you want that for a treat, go for it, but if possible we don’t want to be relying on that donut to keep our levels balanced throughout the day.

I’m always thinking about food of course, so I always try to have a snack ready just in case I need it.

Most days I just carry a little glass container with nuts and seeds, but sometimes I manage to make a few of these energy bites to take along with me.

I find one or two helps to stave off the hunger for a bit because they have a good whack of fibre, fat and protein to make it the perfect little snack.

The hubs has been very diligent about getting out The hubs has been very diligent about getting out for his steps and most time it’s at night. It takes more of an effort for me, but when I go it’s magical especially in the snow with all of the lights. Plus we get the added benefit of fresh air before bed. I highly recommend it!

As much as possible eat whole foods. I have teens so you know… this isn’t always in my control but do what you can at home.

Wash your hands! You don’t need antibacterial soap… just regular soap will do the trick.

Keep up with vitamins and minerals. Lemon water with a bit of salt first think in the morning and teas throughout the day. 

My kids take the first few supplements every day and the last few when they feel something coming on. 

I’m a huge fan of lemon ginger buckwheat honey tea when sick. Buckwheat works well on coughs!

Eat a big breakfast, go to bed early, get outside and get some exercise. When you’re sick go outside for fresh air.

There’s more weirdo stuff I can tell you about but this is a great start.

(I really hope I don’t jinx our family with this post! 🤪).

P.S. I’m not a doctor. I’m simply telling you what has worked for my family for years.
