Energy Bites

I have been making a double batch of these every week. They are the top picked snack for my sons and are great for travel, unless it is a super hot day. Adding more dried fruit and decreasing the coconut oil can help them stay together in the heat. We make different flavor combinations every week the possibilities are endless.

Fruit Energy Bites

1 cup nuts or seeds

1 cup dried fruit

¼ cup coconut oil

In a food processor finely grind the nuts or seeds. Add all the other ingredients including any add ins. Blend everything together until it clumps into one ball. Press the mixture into a loaf pan. We use a rectangular glass pyrex for storing ours. Place the pan in the fridge to firm up. Once firm cut into bars or squares to the desired size. Store in the fridge.

Optional add ins

2 tbs coco powder

2-3 tbs nut butter

1-3 tbs honey

¼ cup shredded coconut

½ banana

3 tbs Chia or Flax seeds

½ cup oatmeal

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt
