Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bites

🎃🥜 Bite sized, fall-themed energy 🌱✨

ACL may be over, but the season (and your body) still calls for grounding snacks that keep your energy steady. These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bites are no‑bake, portable, and packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats—perfect for tossing in your bag, eating between classes, or powering through the week.

From a TCM perspective, pumpkin helps strengthen the Spleen and Stomach, supporting digestion and energy, while peanuts (and nut butters) help nourish Qi and Blood. Together, they make a snack that’s both comforting and sustaining—ideal for fall transitions.
