Meal prep snacks used to feel like an afterthought to me—something I’d forget until I was starving between lunch and dinner. That’s why I started prepping snacks that were fast, satisfying, and didn’t involve turning on the oven.

These Cocoa Hazelnut Energy Bites have been one of my go-to recipes ever since.

They take less than 10 minutes to make, require just 5 ingredients, and taste shockingly like a Ferrero Rocher—except they’re made with real ingredients and zero stress.
