Eating healthy is hard, right? There are so many decadent foods out there tempting us at every corner; which is especially hard when you're trying to eat healthier.
A few years ago I made homemade energy bars. They were so good that I came up with these Blueberry Pistachio Energy bites; which are smaller, bite sized portions.
My husband and I have been dieting recently and have been really trying to watch what we eat. I have to say it really hasn't been that hard now that its mostly just the two of us.
However, every now and then we crave something sweet. These no bake energy bites are perfect! They're soft, chewy and deliciously sweet.
These energy bites take about 15 minutes to make and yield 12 balls.
