Recipe Week!

Keeping in line with all things healthy during my recipe week... I give you homemade energy bites! These are super yummy and super healthy. This will make a great after gym snack for the kiddos and for you! You have a punch of protein and taste of sweetness all rolled into one yummy bite. I have also at times added seeds or nuts to this recipe, this can make for a great substitution for the shredded coconut. Have a great weekend and enjoy.  Much Love, Bridget!
