Granola Bites
Power packed granola bites made with homemade granola! Get your nutrients on the go!
I made these granola bites about 2 months ago. Everyday since then, I’ve been eating one of these to satisfy my sweet tooth and my 4 pm-hunger.
You know, it is that time of the day when you feel like you’ve just got to reach out for a burger or order a plate of fries…. I’ve successfully resisted doing that for the past couple months… all thanks to these hunger-squashing super power nuggets! It did take a while for me to get used to this change in the menu. A granola bite is after all NOT a slice of pizza. For picky eaters, this may not be love at first sight. But stay with it, one bite at a time. It’ll grow on you.
As an unexpected yet welcome side effect of this ritual, I now see that my skin and hair have really started to improve! The omega-3 rich flax seeds and protein rich everything else have definitely contributed in a big way to my health! And now you can do this for yourself too! 🙂
Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it is really tasty too, does it? 😉 {like I mentioned, it may take a while for some people to get used to the taste. But 99% of the time, the taste just grows on you!}
- 1 cup Granola (homemade or store bought)
- 4-5 pitted Dates (seedless)
- 1 tablespoon Almond butter / Peanut Butter / Coconut Oil / Vegetable Oil / Butter
- Honey / Maple Syrup (if required for sweetness)
- To 1/2 cup of water add dates and heat it (on stove or microwave) for 1 minute. Discard water and let the dates cool a bit (this helps to grind the dates better)
- Add the dates to a powerful blender / mixer / grinder. Give a quick mix to break it up.
- Add the granola, almond butter / oil and additional sweetener if you want. Grind for 1 minute or until you have a thick mixture that can hold its form.
- Form equal sized balls from the mixture. Make sure the balls are tightly packed.
- Place it on a plate and freeze for 30 minutes or chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before consuming.
- Store in air tight box in freezer upto 1 month.
* Use a powerful mixer to break up your granola!
