These days, my mornings are slow and easy going (HELLO SUMMERTIME!). I’m enjoying all that post grad life has to offer by taking it slow and not getting a part time job on top of Coconut Whisk.
It’s not all fun and games though, we still have regular work days dedicated to Coconut Whisk so all in all, it’s a full time job without all the benefits (but it’ll come!)
I’ve been waking up naturally without an alarm, dedicating 5-6 hours to office work, going to the gym and taking lots of trips to the dog park with Myles and Opie. It’s my type of lifestyle that I want to hold onto for as long as I can 🙂
In order for me to fuel my day, I like to start it with a green smoothie and energy bites. What are energy bites? If you haven’t seen them already, they’re the new hype. They’re protein rich ball shaped treats that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, snack whatever.
Today, I’m sharing with you the foundation of my favorite energy bite recipe. Feel free to use this recipe as a base to all your future energy bites. Get creative and use whatever is in your pantry! It’s real simply to do and if you make a big batch on Sunday (like I do), it’ll last you all week.
Enjoy!
