Healthy No-Bake Granola Bites

Healthy No-Bake Granola Bites are the perfect, DELICIOUS, on-the-go snack for adults and kids. They’re packed with whole grains and protein to leave you feeling energized and full, longer. 

I’m sure other mom’s can relate when I say I am constantly on the look-out for healthy snack ideas! And not just for my kids, but for me too!

I often turn to this round-up of Healthy Snack Ideas when I’m all out of good ideas. But these no-bake granola bites are our new family favorite!

Not only do they take minutes to throw together, I can freeze them and have them on hand for months! Total score.

My 2 year-old is allergic to peanuts so I’ll usually set aside half of the recipe for him and add sunflower butter as a substitution for the peanut butter.

Everyone in our family loves these–including my husband who often takes one in his lunch! They are the best for on-the-go days too when you barely have time to throw some snacks in your bag on the way out the door.

I often play around with the ingredients and add dried fruit or chia seeds too. Feel free to add in your favorite healthy ingredients to make them even yummier!

Notes

*One of my kids is allergic to peanuts, so I substitute sunflower butter in his!
