Goji Berry Energy Bites
Kayla Castle • January 6, 2021
For Christmas I was gifted a food processor, I am so happy! My last one broke, I couldn’t make any energy bites for a long time. This was my first-time using goji berries in energy bites and I was surprised how tasty these turned out.
Goji Berries contain all 8 essential amino acids. Great sources of vitamins A & C, iron and zinc. Goji berries are antioxidant rich supporting both the immune system and eye health.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup medjool dates, soaked for 10 minutes in warm water, deseeded
1/2 cup dry goji berries
1/3 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup raw almonds
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
Method:
- Place all ingredients in food processor.
- Mix on high till ingredients are crumbled then pulse till mixture forms into a ball.
- Using cookie scoopers form a ball ( about size of tablespoon).
- Store in fridge!
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
