My clients LOVE energy bites and for good reason - they are the perfect grab-and-go snack and there are so many different flavor combinations to choose from. The coconut and walnuts in these bites add a good amount of healthy fat and the dates add fiber to help keep you full. I also like having a few of these for breakfast with coffee or tea.
1. Preheat oven to 375. Place walnuts and coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.
