Snacks can be delicious and healthy too. This no bake Cherry Almond Energy Bites recipe can be made very quickly using only 3 simple ingredients.
I love making energy bites as a tasty and sweet treat that includes a protein boost from almonds.
I like using almonds in my energy bites because they give a good, crunchy texture. Many other nuts kind of melt into the mixture and you don’t get that great texture.
If you’re looking for a new snack featuring protein-packed almonds, give my Cherry Almond Energy Bites recipe a try.

- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1 cup almonds

Instructions
- Place the dried cherries, almonds and dates into your food processor or high powered blender and mix or blend until they form a paste. You can leave it chunkier or make it smoother, depending upon your preferences.
- Scoop the paste out onto a silicone or parchment paper lined cookie sheet or cutting board.
- Shape the cherry-almond-date paste into small balls using about 2 teaspoons of paste (or use a silicone mold to make fun shapes).

Notes
Store your energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Your Cherry Almond Energy Bites will be best enjoyed within a week if you can resist eating them all the first day!
