It’s summer time and kids are going to be burning off their energy with bike rides, water play, and loads of other activities! Having fun during the summer is a must! Being fueled by the right food will help them enjoy their time out and about! To get your kids ready why not fuel them up with some energy bites!? These energy bite recipes are super easy to make, don’t require any cooking, and can be modified to fit your kid’s personal taste!
Here are three of my personal favorites!

After you have chosen your energy bite variation simply mix all the ingredients in a medium size bowl. Once mixed, place into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then, take the mix out and begin rolling into small bite sized balls. The recipe should yield 16-18 energy bites!
