The next time you've got a hankering for energy bites, substitute pistachio butter in for whatever nut butter the recipe calls for (if you've never made these tasty morsels before, start simple with these three-ingredient peanut butter energy bites, but use ½ cup of pistachio butter in place of peanut).

Pistachio butter adds a healthy dose of fiber, protein, healthy fat, and iron to energy bites. Mix in some honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness, toss in some pecans or walnuts for crunch, and if you're struggling to get your bites to stick together, consider adding a teaspoon or two of gluten-free flour for extra binding power.
