Apricot Energy Bites

I made a batch of these apricot energy bites last weekend. They are the perfect small snack for on-the-go when I need something before heading to the gym after work. 

These bites could be any simpler. You just toss your 5 ingredients into the food process and blend away until sticky. Then form the mixture into small bites, refrigerate to let them set and then enjoy! Keep a batch of these in the fridge at all times so you have a healthy snack that you can grab in a hurry. What’s so great about these apricot energy bites? Thanks to the apricots, these bites are a great source of Vitamins A and C which are both powerful antioxidants and great for your skin. Almonds add some protein as well as Vitamin E and just a bit of crunch.

If you make a batch of these bites, make sure to snap a pick and tag me on Instagram! I love to see what you are making!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 heaping cups dried apricots
• ▢ 1 cup chopped almonds
• ▢ 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ▢ 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• ▢ Dash of sea salt

Optional:

• ▢ 1 ounce dark chocolate
• ▢ 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

• Combine all the ingredients in a food process and let it mix for 3-5 minutes or until mixture starts to stick to itself.
• Use your hands to roll dough into 1" round balls and arrange on a baking sheet. I was able to make about 10 bites with my dough. Chill for 15 minutes to let them set and then enjoy!
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
• For fun, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave. Stir well to combine and use a toothpick to roll 1/2 of the balls in chocolate. Transfer to baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 10 minutes or until chocolate has become firm.
