Quick and easy delicious energy bites that are so healthy, but taste a little like little cashew cookies! (gluten free, paleo, vegan, raw, and low carb)
I am addicted to these protein balls that I found at a local coffee shop, but it’s JUST far enough away from my house that I could not justify driving there on a daily basis to get my energy bite fix. I knew I had to come up with a similar recipe at home and while these are not an EXACT replica, these cashew coconut cookie energy bites turned out to be even BETTER than the ones from the coffee shop.
Cashew Coconut Cookie Energy bites are really easy to make, even with your kiddos help and pretty delicious to eat. The entire family will love these energy bites. My toddler calls them “cookie balls” and that’s a total mom win in my book because he thinks he’s getting a super sweet treat!
