In this episode of Abbey's Kitchen, Abbey is joined by a very special guest Sara Lynn from The Domestic Geek. Abbey and Sara have been chatting about post workout snacks, which makes working out totally worth it. If you head on over to Sara Lynn's channel, you can check out Abbey's Protein Bars three ways and today on Abbey's Channel, they are going to be making three delicious energy bites. Sara Lynn will be making the same base ingredients and then will be flavouring them all like dessert. One of them in inspired by a lemon poppy seed muffin, a strawberry shortcake version, and finally oatmeal cookie.

Let's do it!

First up the lemon poppy seed energy bites. The base ingredients of all of these energy bites start with oats, almond flour, almond butter and finally honey. To keep these vegan, you can use agave or maple syrup. Then add some lemon zest and the juice in one lemon. Finally add poppy seed. Process until it reaches your desired consistency. Remove the blade and with your clean kitchen hands pack the mixture into small balls about one inch in size. To store these, keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to make a big batch you can pop them into the freezer.

Next up the strawberry shortcake energy bites. This uses all the same base ingredients but in this case adding chewy dried strawberries and vanilla protein powder. In a processor add oats, almond flavour, almond butter and honey. Next add dried strawberries, vanilla protein powder and vanilla extract. You could take this a step further by adding peanut butter instead of almond butter, it will taste like peanut butter and jelly. Pack them into small balls and store in the fridge.

Finally oatmeal cookie energy bites. Abbey is adamant that when you buy an oatmeal cookie it NEEDS raisins. In this recipe you can go either way. In this case Sara Lynn is using raisins in this classic oatmeal cookie recipe. It starts once again with oats in the food processor. Sara Lynn is only using some of the oats in the food processor and then plans on stirring in the rest of the oats later. Next add almond flour, almond butter and honey. For the cookie flavour, add in vanilla extract and cinnamon. Pulse until well mixed and fold in the rest of the oats in a mixing bowl. Next add raisins and pack into small balls and store in the fridge. Sara Lynn also recommends turning some of the oatmeal batter into the oven to make granola.

Sara Lynn and Abbey are very happy with these energy bites and will likely skip the gym to enjoy more of these bites.
