What are energy bites?
If you’re new to energy bites, let me explain them a bit. They’re little bliss balls packed with ingredients that give you great energy and they taste amazing. They tend to be “raw”, made of up nuts, oats chocolate chips, dried fruit…basically almost like trail mix in a bite. They’re chewy, delicious, and you can make them any flavour that you desire! I’ve made carrot cake energy bites, brownie energy bites and even chocolate peanut butter energy bites. When I say these bites are good, I mean gooood. They taste like little bites of lemon cakes rolled in coconut heaven. I love that they’re made with totally whole food ingredients and filled with tons of energy, using simple ingredients such as lemon juice, coconut flakes, nuts and dates. That’s all that makes these amazing coconut lemon energy bites. The main sweetener here are dates, which are naturally sweet, chewy and loaded with fibre.
Tips for Making The Best Energy Bites
Ensure your dates are properly soaked and pitted. This helps to ensure the proper stickiness needed for the dates. While you shouldn’t, if you’re having issues with sticking, add another date or a splash more of lemon juice. Don’t add everything in at once, follow the order outlined. You need the nuts to be ground first before you add the other ingredients. That way it’ll be the right consistency.
