I loveeee me some energy bites. They are the perfect snack to keep on hand to keep hunger at bay. They are great for a pre-workout or post-workout fuel, snacking on the go, or just a little sweet treat to feed your sweet tooth.

What I love best is the ingredients are cheap and simple, but also this recipe is no-bake and naturally plant-based.

Marinated tofu with roasted veggies, quinoa, and an irresistible peanut sauce. These tofu bowls are the BEST for lunch or dinner!

SO. MUCH. YES

Grain bowls are one of my personal go-to’s for meal prepping. They are filling, healthy, and make a complete meal. Also anything with peanut sauce I’m a sucker for so I’m all about going on. Here’s why I love this peanut tofu quinoa bowl (and why you will too):

Creamy peanut sauce
Pan-fried tofu: No mushy tofu going on here!
Perfectly roasted veggies: I’ll get into some tips on achieving the best roasted veggies.
Fluffy quinoa: Soft pillowy quinoa that makes the perfect bed for these grain bowls.
Chopped cilantro: optional but a game changer.
Chopped peanuts: optional but so recommended.

I like to this of this recipe as a little assembly line. We have 4 components. Sauce, tofu, vegetables, and quinoa. Let’s go step-by-step how to make all these pieces for one heck of a grain bowl!

What better ingredient for energy bites than a little dose of caffeine? These no-bake energy balls are the perfect bite-sized snack! Loaded with peanut butter, dates, coffee, chocolate, and dusted with cocoa powder, these are perfect for pre and post workout or just a snack on to go!

Energy bites, protein balls, energy balls, whatever you wanna call em, they have achieved major popularity in the healthy food world. They are packed with healthy ingredients all in a perfect portion.

I made some coconut lime energy bites awhile back and I honestly cannot believe it took me this long to test out a chocolate coffee version. Well probably not the best-suited recipe for children (they have too much energy as is), you can omit coffee to make them kid-friendly. Chocolate peanut butter energy balls are still delicious and definitely a kid-approved flavor combo.

I, however, am I huge coffee fan and coffee flavor foods are no exception. The coffee stays for me and I love these mocha energy bites! Let’s get you to love them too.

Instead of grabbing a store-bought, processed snack, these plant based granola bars are made with real ingredients and are easy to make ahead and keep on hand. I also love that they are packed with protein, carbs, and natural fats to keep you full and healthy.
