Looking for a healthy snack to get you over the 3 pm slump?

Look no further!

These little bites are packed with healthy fat, protein and have no added sugars. They’re the perfect little treat for curbing a sweet tooth while keeping blood sugar levels stable and providing a nice boost of energy.

They travel well too and are perfect for road trips, plane trips, and hikes. I personally love throwing a few of them in my bag for those occasions when I know I’m going to be out of the house for a while and will need something to get me through until I can eat again, like when I’m running errands or shopping. As you probably know, hunger is the antithesis of a successful shopping trip!

The variations to this recipe are endless, so feel free to swap ingredients and get creative. The ones below are nut-free so are also great for kids’ lunches too.
