Power Bites

Power bites should only be eaten on your most active days.  This recipe packs a lot of calories and energy into a small bite. They are great to take on a hike or as a snack on a day that you might have skipping a meal.

They taste great but can take some time to make, so plan ahead. Keep them ready in a container in the fridge so you can take them with you when you’re on the go.
