No-Bake Sunbutter, Dried Fruit, Pepita Energy Bites
Energy bites get their name from the satiating combination of complex carbohydrates and fiber, protein, and healthy fats. They're a staple for those times you reach for a snack because your stomach is audibly distraught and your brain is hangry. We love this "quick hit" portable snack particularly in the summer months when we'd do just about anything to keep the oven turned off. You can also beat the heat with our Summer Smoothie Bowls.
