Raw Energy Bites

These mega bites are packed with nutrients and ready to eat in no time at all! I decided on three different types to show how you can adapt the recipe depending on what you have in the kitchen. Great as a pre/post workout energy boost or even if you are in a hurry and need to grab breaky on the go.
