What's for Snacking: Peanut Butter Flax Energy Bites | V, SF, GF

It's midterms/finals week in the Trego household (midterms for my semester school, and finals for the hubs' quarter school). We're going to need all of the tasty and healthy snacks we can get. During a study break today, I threw together these no-bake protein-rich bites. Yum.

Yes, they look like the birdseed treats you make in elementary school. Honestly, I had always kind of thought those birdseed treats looked tasty. I wondered why the teachers never let us chow down. And if this is how those birdseed treats taste, I wish I would have tried them in kindergarten.

These are also great for a fast on-the-go breakfast.
