Well, it’s that time of year again – the season in which I spend most of my evenings at the ballpark. It’s been great fun watching my boys grow older into the sport. Year by year, they’re hitting harder, throwing farther, and becoming more aware to the strategy of the game that makes for a great ball player. It’s exciting as the competitiveness starts to increase by the year. Pitches that didn’t use to matter now count as a ball or a strike, to be run for a score.

As much fun as this time of the year can be, it is also exhausting as practices and games all end after 7pm nearly every evening of the week. This mama is growing tired and weary in eating late night suppers and starting our mornings much later than usual. Yes, I’ve been making some of my 25 Meal Ideas for the Busy Baseball Season but I think I’m going to start making meals to go. Ones like milanesa steak sandwiches or tortilla Espanola that can easily be eaten with a side salad in the stands. (If you have any other ideas for me, please share them with me in the comments below. I’d appreciate it!)

As far as snacks and treats go, the first couple of weeks always make me realize that it’s time to get back into a snack making routine. The kids have been enjoying the snack bar much more than this mama likes, so it’s time to climb aboard the real food snack train. I’ll start making a couple batches a week of easy, whole wheat einkorn cheddar crackers, chewy granola bars, and my new favorite treat, no-bake energy bites!

No-Bake Granola Energy Bites (Chocolate Peanut Butter and Mango Coconut)

MightyNest was kind enough to send me an assortment of baking equipment to make these energy bites. A stainless steel mixing bowl, a silicon mixing spoon with a stainless steel handle, a stainless steel jelly roll pan, some glass food storage containers, and my favorite airtight stainless steel containers that you can see in the image above.

What’s great about these energy bites is that they are super simple to make. All you have to do is gather all of your ingredients in a bowl, mix them together (Isn’t that silicon mixing spoon from MightNest Great!),

roll them into 1″ diameter balls, and chill them for about a 1/2 hour. This is a great recipe to make with your kids.

Whenever I make energy bites, I always use coconut oil as it helps bind the ingredients once chilled in the refrigerator. Coconut oil thickens when cold, so it works great for energy bites plus you’ll get all of the health benefits from this nourishing oil as well.

I think once you see how simple and tasty this nourishing treat is, you’ll find yourself taking them to ball games as well.

    I am so excited to try the mango coconut bites — so many energy bites involve nut butters, which I do love but don’t want to OD on nut butter with my favorite lunch of a PB sandwich!

      Pamela, I don’t calculate nutritional values on this site; however, if you visit this website, http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp, you should be able to calculate it.

    What is the carb count? I’m on a low carb diet; so wonder if I can eat them. They sound delicious!

    I love this, but have been looking for recipes using granola instead of oats. Do you think these recipes would work with granola?

      Teresa, granola is made with oats. So the oats in granola have already been baked which may make it taste even deeper if you use it. I’d stick to oats.
