Goji Berries Energy Bites
Goji Superfood Energy Bites for Dogs provide both quick energy from dates and maple syrup as well as sustained energy from almond butter. They’re great to take along on hikes, long walks or anytime your dog needs a wholesome, healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic rolled oats, use gluten-free
- 1 TB Glean sweet potato flour, I highly recommend you add this to your plant-based pantry as it’s a great grain-free flour! While not organic, sweet potatoes are not part of the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” list of highly-sprayed produce.
- 1 TB find-ground organic coconut, unsweetened
- 1 TB organic carob powder, I used TerraSoul brand
- 1 TB organic almond butter, sub peanut, cashew, sunflower butter or tahini
- 1 TB organic maple syrup
- 2 organic medjool dates, if stiff, soak for about 30 minutes in hot water and drain the liquid
- 1 TB water, or more if needed
- 1/4 cup organic goji berries, Soak in hot water for a few minutes to soften and make them more digestible. You can also grind them into the mixture if necessary. I use Sunfood brand.
Notes
Please be aware that these are ENERGY balls and so they contain quite a bit of calories from the dates (quick energy) and almond butter (slow energy). These are a great when you need a high-energy treat, but be cautious how much you feed otherwise!
