Blueberry Almond Chia Energy Bites are 5 ingredient energy bites that are gluten-free, vegan, and absolutely addicting! @FlavortheMoment

I’m forever on a mission to have more out-of-the-box snacks around the house, which is difficult with two growing boys that are like bottomless pits and a husband that’s pretty much the same way.

Let’s face it — I can throw down food like the best of ’em too, so I need super easy recipes that I can whip up in no time flat!

These Blueberry Almond Energy Bites are SO easy, and it’s a good thing, because they’re also so addicting.  They may last a couple of days at my house if I stand guard by the refrigerator because they’re that good. 🙂

I may not really stand guard at the refrigerator, but I am guilty of hiding my own private stash in the back of the fridge because nobody looks there for anything.  I’m a firm believer that if I make the food, I should have my very own stash.

Instead of using my old stand-by peanut butter, I decided to use almond butter because I always have that in the house too and it’s good to change things up!  

Plus almond butter and blueberries are amazing together. 🙂

How to make this recipe

These bites take only 6 ingredients and about 5-10 minutes to put together!

  • Melt the almond butter in the microwave with the coconut oil for a few seconds, then add it into a big bowl with the other ingredients.  
  • Stir well to combine, cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.

I store these in the refrigerator because they hold together perfectly when they’re cold.

Recipe notes

  • Substitute honey for the maple the syrup or use any dried fruit that you have on hand.  
  • The chia seeds are totally optional, but I like the nutrition boost and crunchy texture that they provide.  If you buy chia seeds and you wonder what else you would do with them, check out my overnight oats and pudding.
