How do I make energy bites?

Start by grinding the almonds into a coarse, sand-like consistency. You can do this in a blender or food processor, by pulsing for 30-60 seconds. To the ground almonds, you’ll then add all the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl. Stir together until all the ingredients become well incorporated.

How do I roll energy bites?

Once the dough is mixed together completely, begin rolling each bite into small balls. You’ll need about 1 tablespoon of dough per bite.

The dough sticks together well, so just pressing or rolling together with your hands works the best.

How do I store energy bites?

Energy bites are best stored in the refrigerator or freezer. I like to store mine in one large resealable container in my freezer. I separate the layers of bites with a sheet of parchment paper so they don’t stick together.

You can also refrigerate or freeze in individual servings (2 bites) using plastic containers or freezer bags. Refrigerated, these energy bites will keep for up to 2 weeks. When frozen, they will keep for up to 6 months.

These bites make a great pre or post workout snack, perfect for re-fueling after a run or your favorite gym class.
