Energy Bites with Shredded Coconut

I’m a new auntie again. I only have one sibling, and he and his wife just had their second baby girl.

Now I have two nieces. My sister in law’s family side has all girls. My side has all boys. I could eat all the pink buttercream in the world and still have boy babies. That’s why I stopped at three.

In fact, I just got back from visiting my good friend at the hospital, where she gave birth to two fraternal twins. Both boys. She already has two little boys at home. My sweet friend is going to need a lot of chocolate.

Whoever said baby gender is 50/50 obvi wasn’t correct. If my sister in law ends up having a third girl someday, we’ll be sporting a full on yin-yang…

In honor of these two darling mamas that just gave birth to their newbies, I decided to share some energy bites.

Clearly no explanation needed. I could have made pink or blue cake with loads of buttercream. As adorbs as that would be, I get that they don’t need edible flowers at such a time as this. No, the sleep-deprived mommies need energy.

Healthy, all-natural, powerhouse balls of energy that are easy to bring anywhere and pop in your mouth at any tummy-growling moment.

These 5 Ingredient Energy Bites couldn’t be easier to make or eat.

They’re less sweet than my other No-Bake Energy Bites, as they’re sweetened only with honey and dates. However, feel free to amp up the sweetness as you wish. Both recipes are GF and full of nutrition.

Make a bunch of bites, pack them up, and have a fabulous pick-me-up whenever you like. These are perfect for pre-post workout fuel, too. One of my favorite ways to fuel up for a run 🙂
