![5 minute Honey Tahini Energy Bites, anyone? (Pssst, theyâre also packed with greens đ)
Not only are these packed full of the PFF combo (protein, fat and fiber- my fave combo for a satiating snack), Iâve also leveled them up with @myprogressive VegeGreens! Each scoop is a potent source of antioxidants for those times you wanna level up with some easy greens on the go! [AD]
To make them:Â
1 cup + 2 tbsp cup quick oats
2 scoops @myprogressive VegeGreens
1/4 cup honey
1 cup tahini
2 tsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch salt
3 tbsp sesame seeds (for rolling)
Combine all ingredients except the sesame seeds in a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Roll into 1-inch balls and then roll the balls in the sesame seeds.
