Energy Bites (No Cooking Needed)

I'm so excited sharing the recipe of "Energy Bites" that are absolutely delicious and healthy but also because I was the winner at California Almond. They sent me a box full of organic yum goodies and I made these beautiful looking bites from them with few extra ingredients. They are extremely easy to make (no cooking or baking) and can be eaten as desserts too.

Energy Bites
You may wonder - Why do I call them energy bites ?
That is because of all the yummy ingredients like nuts, almond butter, honey, chocolate along with oats and gramflour which replenishes the body with some key nutrients, that helps relief the energy slumps or snack pangs. They can be easily stored in air-tight containers in fridge for upto 3 weeks or and can be easily carried in zip-lock bags when travelling. Pack them as treats or snacks for any age group.

The ingredients used here are all as per my taste however feel free to mix ingredients of your choice like any other nut or raisins or flavor.
