They’re made entirely in the food processor! Which is awesome because this means they’re quick and easy to make with little clean up.

- Once the ingredients are blended together in the food processor, I recommend putting the mixture in the refrigerator to make it easier to work with when shaping them into balls.
- When the mixture is chilled, remove it from the fridge. Roll into small to medium sized balls. I prefer to use a small cookie scoop to get the best size.
- The energy bites can be stored in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 days.
