Who doesn’t need all the comforting flavors of carrot cake wrapped up into a healthy snack!?! It’s clearly no secret around here that we love energy bites. They’re so easy to make, and they’re absolutely invaluable for keeping me on track for healthy eating. It seems like more often than not I’m in need of a quick snack, and these fit the bill perfectly. They also keep well in the freezer for a month. So it’s easy to make a big batch every few weeks, and have healthy snacks available all month long. Making your own energy bites might seem like one of those projects along the lines of making your own bread. But I promise you that energy bites are a gazillion times easier, and much faster to make. They also taste much better than store bought, and cost less than half to make your own.
For the pineapple flavor in these carrot cake bites, I used an unsweetened dried pineapple which is tough and leathery. So you’re going to want to soak if first before processing it together with the rest of the ingredients.
Once you have the texture you like for energy bites, you can shape them however you’d desire. Sometimes I do bars, but lately I’ve been really into rolling them into bites. From there, a quick roll in shredded coconut makes them pretty, and provides some extra flavor as well.
I hope you enjoy these, and if you’re looking for more energy bite inspiration, I’ve definitely got you covered! No reviews
