Energy Bites

 

 

  

These salty sweet energy bites are made biweekly at our house. We keep them on hand for grab and go breakfast or as a snack. Having a healthy snack is essential for staying fueled for hours of keeping up with a walking one year old and also helps me put in a few miles around the track. These bites are also a delicious little desert that will make you feel like you have splurged without actually doing so!
