Everyone is always in need of a quick, healthy snack that tastes great. The snack doesn’t need to be sweet, but a lot of people do enjoy a sweet treat when hunger strikes. Why not satisfy your sweet tooth in the healthiest way possible? Eating whole foods that are nutritionally dense can help fill you up and prevent you from snacking between meals. In fact, one, two max, of these energy bites will be satiate you.

These energy bites are made from nuts, nut butter, raw cacao powder, and dried raspberries. All you have to do is blend all the ingredients together in a food processor, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. You want to make sure that all of the ingredients are full incorporated before you form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Make sure that you wet your hands when it comes time to form the mixture into balls. That will help prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. And make sure to line a baking sheet with parchment paper so as to avoid sticking while they harden in the fridge or freezer.

As a final note, make sure that the dried raspberries are free of added sugars and preservatives like sulfur dioxide. Don’t buy freeze-dried raspberries, either. Purchase dried raspberries either online or from a health food store. You can also chop up some of the dried raspberries and roll the balls in them if you want. That creates a little more texture and sweetness, but it is an optional step.
