Almond Protein Energy Bites

The perfect snack for you and your kids... or just you.
I love a good homemade snack, but I don't like having to go through a lot of effort to make them. This was a perfect combination of ingredients and ease to make it.
Plus, I hate it when energy bite recipes don't stick together, so I really worked on this to make sure it would hold without falling apart.
These are great for a mid-afternoon pick me up, a snack to send with the kids to school, enjoy as dessert after dinner, or eat as breakfast when you slept through your alarm.

You have the right intentions. You make the goals like everyone else makes – lose 20 pounds; decrease body fat percentage by 10%; fit into a size 8 pants. Then you make a plan of action – start exercising, eat better, stop drinking alcohol, sleep more, etc.
I love zucchini. It is so versatile to be able to use it in savory and sweet ways. As much as I love spiralized zucchini with a red meat sauce, I will always love it in breads and muffins more. However, most of the time those recipes are heavy in sugar and flour, without much substance to keep you full after eating them. I wanted a recipe that I could give to my kids in the morning before taking my daughter to school that would last her awhile. These are the perfect option for that or a fun afternoon snack that feels like a treat. Enjoy!
