Any other snack lovers out there?

I love snacks! They’re usually quick to make and with some planning, they can be packed with nutrients to keep you going through that midday slump. Energy bites are the perfect solution to have healthy snacks all week long.

There are lots of varieties that are kid friendly too – what kid doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate chips?!

    You recently suggested using your energy ball recipe but press them into a pan and make bars. It was such a great idea for when you don’t have time to roll them all out into balls. Will do it again!
