During a week of fruits-veggies-oats-and-nuts-only diet, I was craving a nutritious sweet treat. This version of the original energy bite recipe is totally amazing and even healthier--filled with healthy almonds in place of the chocolate chips. The cocoa powder makes these taste so much like No Bake Cookies that you wouldn't believe it. These are a must make and must keep in your fridge at all times!
