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!
