When finals week rolls around, we generally find ourselves running in twenty different directions, staying up until 3AM, and stressing out more than ever! In the midst of the craziness, we tend to reach for junk food and processed snacks in attempts to feed our sad souls. All of this junk food, however, leads to sugar crashes and can contribute to the general “blah” feeling that we get during this week.
This recipe for peanut butter energy bites will fuel you throughout the week! They provide a big dose of fiber for energy and healthy fats to keep you full. These bites are no-bake, so they’re easy to make in the dorm and keep in your freezer for a quick grab n’ go snack. They’re so healthy, and, they can even be eaten for breakfast if you’re in a rush!
