With all the craziness going on, I decided to try making some apple pie energy bites to get me through the day. It is so easy to keep plugging away at the day and skip a meal…I totally get it! However, I try to practice what I preach, and skipping meals leads to the mid-afternoon BRAIN drain and will likely lead you to eat more than you really need at your next meal.
I was given a sample box of Solo Energy bars, and up until now, they were my go-to quick fix between meals or as a meal replacement when I just didn’t prepare properly for the week. They taste great, and I found they kept me feeling full without a post-energy crash. However, I’ve always wanted to make my own energy bars or snacks, so now that the Solo Bars are gone, I came up with a recipe that I find is a great substitute (when you have time to make them).
I also decided to try and tie this post into a Recipe Redux post. This month, the theme was Pies. So I decided to make a bit of a twist on the traditional “Pie” and make Apple Pie Energy Bites.
Here is the recipe! Hope you enjoy!
