These Healthy Peanut Butter Nutella No Bake Energy Bites are made with only 4 ingredients, have no added sugar, easy to make and are the perfect snack. They are also gluten-free + vegan!
Let’s talk a quick second about making difficult decisions.
It’s super hard to make decisions when your an indecisive person. Like making decisions about the future. We’ve all been there and done that. You can’t tell me that I am supposed to know where to go to for grad school if I can’t even figure out want to eat for breakfast! What to eat for breakfast is a hard decision in itself, let alone my whole future career.
I’d say that the daily decisions about food that we all have to make are some of the hardest!
For example:
avocado toast vs. peanut butter toast
Chipotle vs. Panera
oatmeal vs. smoothie bowl
peanut butter vs. nutella
I don’t think it’s possible to choose just from each of these things! So why no both? What do you say about taking a break from our daily decision making? When in doubt, choose it all.
That’s was my motivation for creating these Peanut Butter Nutella Energy Bites so you can have it all and embrace your indecisiveness with me. Now you can have the taste of nutella and peanut butter all in one bite.
These little bites are super easy to make, take only 5 minutes and only contain 5 ingredients. They are only naturally sweetened with dates and a little bit of maple syrup and are the perfect healthy grab n’ go snack that tastes like dessert.
And we all know that anything that’s healthy and tastes like dessert is a dream come true.

HA! This cracks me up. I was hoping you were going to have a magical answer on how to make those hard decisions. If only “choosing both” worked all the time.

Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
Chipotle vs. Panera is the worst and I usually solve it by saying Panera is lunch and Chipotle is dinner 😂 And deciding between nut butters is just traumatic in general. Love these!

Give me anything with chocolate or peanut butter and I’ll love you forever. But chocolate AND peanut butter?! Soul mates!! Brilliant idea, why have one when you could have both 😉
Emily says
This mirrors the struggle between having chocolate and peanut butter, and I love how you brought them together. 😀 I love how you put them as ‘two sides’ to the same coin. 🙂 Isn’t it AMAZING that God our Creator and Father made so many delicious flavors including these two?

Undeniably consider that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to
be on the web the simplest factor to bear in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same
time as folks think about worries that they plainly do not recognize about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the entire thing with no need side-effects , other folks can take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
