It is raw, it is vegan, it is peanut-free, it is gluten-free, it is dairy free, it is for YOU!
As I was telling you, we indulged a lot during our vacations. When you come back from a holiday break, your body is totally off and so is your appetite. At least for me. I am hungry earlier and my stomach is calling for more food!
Aaaand here comes my little healthy bites. Look at those guys. It has raisins, sunflowers seeds, spiced up with cinnamon and the crunch of popped quinoa!
Don’t you want to steal one? Or 2? I am telling you, there are addictive!
I just told you about popped quinoa, it is such a perfect find! I make a little jar to always have some, I added some in my yogurt, salads and now those bites. You HAVE to try it!

I’ve never had popped quinoa before but it sounds great. I’d definitely like one (or three) of these little bites!
Popped Quinoa is really quick and easy and you have a lot of possibilities to use it! Let me know if you give it a try 🙂
These look like just about the easiest recipe on the planet. Love the popped quinoa idea. Yum!
Thank you Bridget! The popped quinoa adds some crunchy, everybody loves crunchy 🙂
We are lots of different kinds of “-free” around here so this recipe is perfect!!! Great idea. Thanks!
Thanks Sarah, I know all the “-free” are difficult, that’s why I came up with that. Bonus, no bake!
I’m looking for some healthy snacks for the kids that don’t involve nuts and these would definitely fit the bill. Will try to hide the fact they have raisins…lol I bet you could make them out of cranberries too?
Bernice, I am sure it would work fine with cranberries but you might want to hide some raisins in it to add more sweetness. Let me know how it turned out!
Turns out my daughter actually asked if we could make something like a protein bar soon. I told her about your bites and she’s on board 🙂 We’re going to try half and half and see how they stick together from there.
Hi Bernice, let me know how it turns out! I actually bought some cranberries this weekend thinking I should do another healthy snack with them… stay tune 🙂
Interesting energy bites. Have you ever tried making them with Dates? I use dates as nutrition for my races and I would love to know if they behave well in recipes like this one.
Hi Kim and Hector, dates snacks are actually on my list of recipes to post soon. I love dates! Stay tune 🙂
Love that these are nut free! They look delicious. I’m a big fan of energy bites like these – they’ make the best satisfying, portable snacks!
Thank you Chelsea, it is in fact easy to sneak in your bag for a perfect and healthy snack!
Dude. Raisins, sunflowers seeds, spiced up with cinnamon and the crunch of popped quinoa!? I’m ready for mine – you have my address right? 😉
