Quick-Fixes to Fuel your Day
Hey guys! I’m Sam, one of your Directors of Student Well-Being this year! I know it can be difficult to make sure you’re eating well during online school days. I absolutely love cooking and baking, it really helps me chill out and take a break :) Here are a couple of low-effort quick recipes that will help you fuel your day and get off of your screens!! -Sam :)
Energy bites:
Ingredients:
1 cup oats (GF oats)
1/3 cup flax meal
1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/8 cup raw or toasted sunflower seeds
1/8 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Place the oats and flax meal in a medium sized bowl. Stir to combine. Add the seed butter and maple syrup and stir to combine. Stir in the sunflower seeds and chocolate chips. This mixture should form a dough that's easy to form into balls that stick together. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash more maple syrup, or add a drizzle of coconut oil.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into balls. Transfer to a small storage container and keep in the refrigerator.
