I’ve lately been obsessed with Pinch of Yum’s Pumpkin Energy Bites (if you have not tried those yet, do so asap) and I just love the idea of combining oats and healthy seeds with honey and other flavors and spices into a chewy sweet energy ball! I keep them in a ziploc bag in the fridge and grab one whenever I feel my sweet tooth taking over or whenever I just need a pick-me -up. They are also awesome treats to have around as a family since they are a healthy snack alternative for kids, and even a great lunch box add-on!
