Once all of the ingredients are well combined, add the honey. Start with 2-3 tablespoons, adding more if you prefer a sweeter taste. Pour mixture into an airtight container, and refrigerate overnight. The seeds will absorb the liquid, resulting in a pudding-like consistency.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other Ideas: Don’t have any cacao powder on hand? Add a little bit of vanilla extract instead. You can also use maple syrup instead of honey if you prefer. Feel free to experiment! Like many other chia recipes, this one is easy to customize. After letting the mixture sit in your fridge overnight, you can even try blending it in a blender or food processor for a smoother, more creamy consistency.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Energy Bites</span></b></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These bites are one of the easiest chia recipes you can make.

Roll the mixture into bite-sized pieces. Since they don’t have to be baked, you can make them as small or large as you want. Smaller bites are a great option if you want to enjoy these as an on-the-go snack. Store your energy bites in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other ideas: As with most chia recipes, this one is easy to adapt!
