Running on the forest trails is where I go to return to my centre.
Even though I return to the same trails, I always discover something new that brings me back to my core.
A renewed spirit and a cleansing of soul.
And after these soul-cleansing runs, a re-fuelling is much needed. Something clean, fulfilling and of course, delicious.
These Energy Bites meet all requirements. Added bonuses are no cooking, quick and easy to make.
Many substitutions could be used with this recipe. All you need are some sort of nut/s, nut butter, dried fruit, & chocolate (optional).
