No-Bake Grain- Free Lemon Poppy Seed Energy Bites

by

Need a quick and easy on-the-go SCD snack? Look no further than these no-bake lemon poppy seed energy bites! With only eight ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already, you can whip up these tasty energy bites with little effort.

Bursting with zesty bright lemon, bits of earthy poppyseeds, and chewy cookie dough texture, these energy bites will awaken your senses while giving you fuel for whatever your day has ahead.

You can always replace the cashew butter with a different nut butter if you prefer. Depending on the consistency of your nut butter you may need to add another teaspoon or two of coconut flour if your ‘dough’ seems runny. If you can not tolerate seeds, you can simply omit the poppy seeds. These energy bites are just as delicious without them.

Whether you’re out and about with a hungry toddler or going from work to the gym; these energy bites are convenient, tasty, and so easy to make you’ll want to have them around all the time!
