The Perfect Snack

Have you heard of energy bites (also known as protein balls)? If you have, you're going to love this recipe. If you haven’t, you're in for a real treat! These Good Grains Energy Bites are packed with health and happiness and are great for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack. 

They have a balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat, and protein) for sustained energy before or after exercising, or when you just need a slight chocolate fix. We've used our organic, non-GMO whole rolled and thick-cut Fifty-Fifty Oatmeal for this one.

One cup of Fifty-Fifty Oatmeal contains 12g of protein and 10g fiber, so you'll be full and ready to take on the day!
