Peanut Butter, Banana & Cinnamon Energy Bites
Spring 2020
What makes this energy bites special is the combination of textures. The addition of puffed rice makes for a much lighter consistency compared to your average protein ball. The puffed rice also adds a little crunch to each bite. The banana brings a natural sweetness to the filling, making this recipe a great low-added sugar alternative. Use the ripest banana you can get your hands on; the riper the banana, the sweeter the result!
