Yummy no-bake fruit dip and snack bites!

Lately I've been cutting up apples into wedges and dipping them in this easy, 4 ingredient concoction, inspired by no-bake cookies. 

All you need is a big, messy spoonful of peanut butter, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkling of instant oats and raw cocoa powder. No need for cooking and cooling or two sticks of butter here! It's great as a breakfast option, too. :-)

Just mix this...

                                ....And get this!

Another awesome option? Make a big batch, with either cinnamon or cocoa, and add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder and/or milled flax seeds with a splash of coconut milk and roll into balls to snack on any time! Use more oats for this than the dip, which creates a dough-y texture. Refrigerate the mix for an hour or more before rolling, or it'll be too messy to control. (I cheat and chill it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.) Store in the fridge and enjoy!

The batter should be sticky enough to stay on a spoon without falling off, like this:

I rolled my cinnamon ones in powdered sugar, which is optional. Here's what they look like, along with the chocolate balls:

As you can see, I use Garden of Life Raw Meal protein powder in vanilla, which is bland by itself, but that makes it super easy to blend into all kinds of other flavors, like mint, chocolate, berries, and of course: peanut butter! I get mine from The Vitamin Shoppe, which is also where I get my milled flax seeds.

Whether you use the dip or the snack bites, with or without additives, you'll love the rich flavors that will fill you up without weighing you down! When I get a sweet tooth craving, I can make these and satisfy it without needing butter or sugar.

Yummy!
