Lemon Energy Bites


ENERGY BITES



Oh, how I love your versatility! There is no end to the flavors you can create. Pictured are some fun ingredients for the bites. My favorite are actually raw cashew bites but my daughter, Caley, is severely intolerant to them, so you will rarely see cashews in my recipes.

Raw Seed Energy Bites
Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
Mint Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
Almond Bites
Key Lime Bites
Coconut Bites
Lemon Bites
Goji Berry Bites
.....you get the picture!


 Today I felt lemony. We spent the morning in the pool and though I had no fresh lemons to make lemonade, I had organic fresh pressed, not from concentrate lemon juice to make the perfect lemon bites.

LEMON ENERGY BITES


1 c walnuts (use raw if desired) 
1 c almonds (use raw if desired)
12 pitted medjool dates
2 T lemon juice or juice from one lemon

Grind up nuts in high powered blender, such as 1500 watt Ninja or Vitamix. Add in dates and lemon juice. Blend until a dough forms (don’t over do it!). Roll into balls. Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate. You can eat them whenever, but better once slighty hardened in fridge. I always eat a few before they make it there!
