These Lemon Blueberry Energy Bites are an easy, no bake snack that's perfect for back to school or summer road trips! Just a few ingredients and they're gluten free and with paleo and vegan options.
1 1/4cupsquick cooking oatsor use large for more texture - gluten-free if necessary
1/2cupdried blueberries
Instructions
In a food processor, process almonds, lemon zest, juice and honey until smooth (this can take a few minutes).
Add in half of the oats and process again until smooth.
Move mixture to a bowl and stir in remaining oats and blueberries. Stir until combined -- you may need to use your hands as they can be pretty sticky!
Store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
*To mix things up and add more protein, trying swapping ¼ cup of the oats for chia seeds, hemp seeds or ground flax.
Notes
*VEGAN and PALEO: substitute the honey with a vegan liquid sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. I chose honey because we always have it and it has a neutral flavor, unlike maple syrup.
