With our overwhelming busy lives from work or being a new mom, these energy snack bites are for you. I often hear from many clients that they are just too busy to eat throughout the day and they grab a coffee to boost their energy, or they are constantly feeding their baby and forget that they also need fuel to keep going.
These energy snack bites are quick to make, and they last a week in the refrigerator and even longer in the freezer, so a perfect thing to grab on the go.
They are loaded with wholesome nutrients – fiber, plant-based protein, antioxidants, omega-3s, and healthy fats.
And for you breastfeeding moms, these snack bites may help support a healthy milk supply.
Give them a try!
