Okay, so it’s been awhile! Work has been absolutely crazy so I am excited to finally get some time to sit down and write out some of my favourite quick and easy recipes I have been whipping together this past month.
It’s without a doubt that when you are busy, cooking, meal planning and “healthy” eating goes out the window. So, these three-ingredient cashew & cranberry energy bites are a godsend when I need a quick snack but are lacking in the time department. All you need for these balls are a high-speed blender or food processor, cashews, cranberries and dates and you are good to go!
Obviously, there are so many versions of healthy energy balls such as Deliciously Ella’s Energy balls but I have to be honest, they are both cheaper and easier to just have on hand at home when you need one!
