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.
Almonds have always been one of my favorite snacks. I love taking almonds as a hiking snack. One ounce of almonds (about 23 almonds) contain 6 grams of protein. I love how they keep me feeling full longer and are a very simple snack in themselves.
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. And be sure to leave a rating if you enjoyed this easy snack recipe!
