Zip. Zero. Nada. None. Absolutely no cooking required for these little sweet and healthy bites of heaven.  These Carrot Energy Bites are the perfect veggie-loaded little treats that are made from simple and good-for-you ingredients.

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that we are avid hikers. Every Sunday, we find a trail to conquer…and you better believe that there is a snack in my backpack to enjoy at the summit of any mountain.

Larabars or Skout Organic bars are a favorite pantry staple of mine with a similar vibe to homemade energy bites. And while I love keeping those bars stocked in my house, sometimes I will make these carrot energy bites to throw in our pack and fuel our adventure.

These energy bites also double as veggie-loaded road snacks or the perfect veggie-packed option to add to those lunch boxes.

    Taesha,
    Carrot cake batter bites sound fabulous! Do you have a suggestion for a substitute on the almond meal? I have all the ingredients except the almond meal. I would love to make these! Yum!
    Thanks!
