Breakfast is the most important meal of the day (or so I am told), but I never seem to have time for it. During the week I am always running out the door in a rush, which leaves little time for scrambled eggs and bacon. I am always trying to think of easy, on-the-go ideas that I can throw in my bag and eat at my desk or in the car. These no-bake energy bites are perfect for those busy mornings. I was inspired by the Park City Coffee Roasters in Kimball Junction when I was making these little bites. I love stopping by PC Coffee Roasters after one of my spin or yoga classes for a coffee and their energy balls. Just two or three is enough to hold me over until I am able to blend up a smoothie to tie me over until lunch. The best part about them is they taste just like a cookie, but healthier! You can throw anything you like in these little bites, get creative and make them your own. Enjoy!
