Blueberry Lemon Energy Bites

Blueberry Lemon Energy Bites

I've been on a big blueberry-lemon kick recently and these little energy bites are bursting with fresh flavors. They are the perfect mid-morning pick-me-up and even wonderful as dessert. They can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes and keep well in the fridge for up to a week (although they never last that long!) If you are in need of a new snack I've got you covered. I hope you all enjoy these little delights as much as we do! Dig in.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cashews
