Do you have trouble finding snacks you can grab on the go throughout a busy week? One of my clients mentioned that he is always in a rush throughout the day and when he gets home for dinner, he indulges in large meals. He said it would be helpful to have some ideas for easy snacks he could eat throughout the day! These cacao, almond butter energy bites are just the trick. If you’re a chocolate lover, this is the snack for you! Cacao has many energy-boosting nutrients so this is perfect for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack!
