These last few months have been crazy for Lance and I. Between Lance studying for his EMT exam and me studying for a work exam, our wedding planning and full-time jobs we haven’t had a lot of time for anything else. We’ve been making a lot of quick and easy meals and snacks at home. It’s important for us to eat relatively healthy even though we don’t have a lot of time to prep and cook the food. There aren’t any fast food places in our town so that definitely helps too! These energy bites are one of our favorite snacks we’ve been making lately. They are healthy but yet still feel like you are eating a treat. We love the peanut butter and chocolate combo! I bring 2 or 3 to work and look forward to having them for a snack during the day.
What are your go-to snacks you like to eat throughout the day? For more snack options try my favorite granola recipe. You can follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest for more recipes and inspiration.
