Apricot Energy Bites

These no-bake Apricot Energy Bites couldn’t be more simple. You’re just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes away from a wholesome, energy-packed snack on the go! You definitely don’t need any packaged snacks with this recipe in your back pocket.

Let me guess…you’re on a diet?

Or perhaps you’ve committed to less processed food in your daily diet?

I applaud you! I do. For reals. I wish you nothing but self-love and success, whatever that may look like to you. Hooray!

I’m not on a diet and I don’t like the pressure of saying “I’m going to lose 10 pounds.” BUT I will admit, I’m starting an 8 week fitness challenge today that includes a meal plan. It isn’t restrictive in any way whatsoever, but the need to eat cleaner after a chocolate-filled holiday season is evident. Plus, the need to cleanse our home of packaged snacks for everyone, not just me, is really a must too. Giving up the Starbucks habit? I’ll work on that another day. Maybe. 

In an effort to have more homemade, easy, natural snacks around the house, I’ve made these super simple Apricot Energy Bites!

My parents were sent a giant bag of dried apricots for Christmas and my husband happened to point out that apricots are high in potassium, something he thinks he’s lacking in. Well say no more, I’m making cookies! I mean, energy bites.

Right?

I love knowing I don’t have to reach for another handful of store-bought this or that when I’m in need of a snack. And I love that I have a healthy snack option to pack in my husband’s lunches that I know he’ll actually eat.

So let’s break it down, ok? These Apricot Energy Bites are gluten-free and vegan. They are made in minutes by blending the apricots and cashews and a touch of honey in a high-powered blender or food processor. Then you mush in some coconut flour until you have “dough,” roll up some balls, toss um in Vega protein or more coconut flour…voila! I’ve also added hemp hearts to the dough to up that protein.

I’ll admit, I totally dip some of these in peanut butter while I’m snacking. Or throw them on top of a bowl of yogurt. Or nosh on some in the middle of the night when I’m trying to get the babe back to sleep.

Ready to make some? Let’s do it!
