A great bite to take on the road, add to lunches or keep in your desk for snack attacks are these Date Energy Bites!
Date Energy Bites
Healthy never tasted so good! You’ll detect a hint of sweet, a touch of cinnamon and a lovely bite of chocolate when you bite into these no-bake date energy bites!
These easy to make snacks take no time at all to whip up. Simply mix your ingredients together, roll and enjoy.
The Perfect Road Trip Snack
These snacks full-fill the need for sweets when road tripping.
When it comes to other snacks, I’ve always tried to pack a small cooler for road trips. Fill them with good stuff like cheese sticks, yogurt tubes, and cut up veggies for the road. Fruit is easy to eat when it’s prepped in advance and added to portable containers helping with any hunger that might set in on a trip alleviating the need to stop at a gas station and buy junk food. The kids just pass the container around until they are satisfied, or it is empty. If your kids love hummus, bring it along as a dip for the veggies.

I’ve had a bunch of dental work done lately, so I can’t eat anything hard like nuts. I’m so happy to finally find something like this that doesn’t have nuts in it! I’ll definitely be giving this recipe a try.
Thanks Fiona for stopping by. Albeit a little sticky to work with initially…they firm up in the fridge and are delicious!
These were so easy and so good!
