Gluten-Free Vegan Almond Energy Bites
Energy bites are the way to go if you need something fast, easy to make and healthy. They’re great snacks for when you’re traveling or need something to give you a bit of an energy boost. And best of all, they’re so quick to whip up. These took all of five minutes to make. Maybe even 4 minutes. They require only 5 ingredients and they’re sugarless (honey is the sweetener), gluten-free and vegan.
FYI – you can opt out of the coconut if you prefer.

I made these yesterday! Very quick and yummy! Perfect for my status as a ravenous pregnant lady whose new stove hasn’t arrived yet. I tried skimping on the honey because my Aldi almond butter and coconut both came with added sugar, but I ended up adding honey back in to help them stick together.
Honey definitely helps them stay together! I’m so glad you liked them – they’re a great snack!
