The Scrounge Energy Bites

These energy bites are truly the best snack and do provide a nice boost of energy!

These are my version of a homemade protein bar. If you don’t know by now, I love protein bars but as I’ve said before, you have to be careful with which ones you choose to eat because they aren’t all healthy. These energy balls are great because they’re homemade so you know exactly what ingredients you’re putting into your body.

These are also so easy to travel with, so when you're on the move and need a healthy snack, take these babies with you. Not to mention these will take you less than 10 mins to make. I hope you enjoy!
