Notes

Protein bites too dry? Try adding just a little bit more maple syrup or mixing the almond butter with a creamier peanut butter. Add 1 Tablespoon at a time until the texture is right!
Store energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months! When ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw in the fridge the night before.
