Cranberry Almond Energy Bites Recipe

I’ve been having a breakfast dilemma: Its been too cold for smoothies & my favorite greek yogurt stopped being sold in the states. In my searching for a quick and easy breakfast option, I came across these on pinterest and they are perfect! They were quick and easy to make and store easily in the fridge. I made a batch and took them to work and have been eating 2 for breakfast all week! They are a little crunchy, from toasting the oats, almonds and coconut, which I love. A great healthy breakfast for on the go!
