Trail Mix Energy Bites

One of my most requested recipes is for healthy snacks. As a serial snacker myself, I can totally relate! Healthy & quick snacks that you can make yourself are hard to come by but get me through the day & help me to make healthy choices.

That's why I love this twist on my classic Energy Bites recipe! These trail mix energy bites perfectly capture the trail mix flavours with nuts, raisins & a touch of chocolate. Easy & delicious...yum! Feel free to mess around with what you add in to create your own trail mix combo! Hope you enjoy this recipe

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Combine together with your hands until well mixed.

2. Cover mixture and place in the fridge for around 20 minutes until it firms up.

3. With an ice cream scoop, make bite sized balls one at a time. Roll together with your hands until they form desired shape.
