Energy balls and bites were probably the biggest healthy snack craze to sweep across the interwebs last year, and although I was initially skeptical, I’m all about them these days. If you’re not sure what they are, energy balls or bites are small, usually ball shaped snacks made with wholesome ingredients. They’re usually refrigerated before eating to help maintain their shape, but some recipes call for baking. Either way, they’re little bundles of health, just waiting to be devoured. <- clearly not a dictionary definition…
Anyway, as much as I’m a big fan of balls and bites now, I jumped on the bandwagon so late that it’s kind of hard to find new and exciting combos to share with you since most of them have been done before. Luckily, I love me a good roundup, so today I’m going to share some of my favourite energy ball and bite recipes from the blogosphere with ya.

LOVE bites… and been loving them for many, many years. I think I first started making them in 2010, and while it can definitely be hard to come up with new flavour ideas these days, you can’t argue with how good the classics are. Thanks for including my bites!

These look really good….a lot healthier than my Oreo balls! I’ve only made balls once. I like “balls/bites” I just to have to remember portion control.
