LCM Bites
PRE TIME: 20 MINUTES
SET TIME: 60 MINUTES (OR OVERNIGHT)
For Week 2 of preseason I tossed together these LCM energy bites with a new spin. Instead of Rice Bubbles I used quinoa puffs and swapped out honey for maple syrup (FODMAP friendly).
They are so YUM!!!! I have been loving the large ones with chocolate at home just for a fun snack with a cup of tea and have been taking the little ones for an in between training pick me up :)
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups puffed quinoa (or you can use rice puffs)
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter
Optional Toppings:
- ½ block dark chocolate, melted
- Pinch of sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, mix together the puffed quinoa, maple syrup, and crunchy peanut butter until well combined.
- Shape into small or larger bite-sized pieces — whatever you prefer!
- For some variety, drizzle a few with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with a little salt, then leave the rest plain for an easy pre-training snack.
Perfect grab and go energy bites with a hit of protein :)
