Chocolate Cherry Energy Bites

Energy bites have become very popular over the past few years. For good reason! They generally contain healthy fats, protein, complex carbohydrates and natural sugars. 

Talk about a great pre or post workout snack! They can also easily fit in your purse, diaper bag, book bag and even the car console. The fun part is, they can be popped into your mouth in just one bite!

The flavor possibilities are endless but chocolate & cherry is one of the best combinations (in my opinion)!

For this recipe I used raw cashews and sunflower seed butter. Along with dried cherries that get a warm water bath to rehydrate! Dates, which are like nature's candy. Unsweetened cocoa powder, old fashioned oats (gluten free for me) and a little bit of dairy free plant milk.

Finally, rolling them in unsweetened shredded coconut just makes them feel complete.  And they look prettier too!

My family usually gobbles these up before I even get my hands on them. So if I were you, I’d make an extra batch! They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months too. Just take a couple out the night before and they’ll be ready for lunch boxes in the morning.

Happy rolling!

Many Hugs,

Cathleen
