Date & almond energy bites
Easier-to-swallow option below ↓energy-bites, on-a-plate
Sometimes the kindest thing is a snack you don't have to think about. These come together in a food processor, keep for a week, and slip into a bag for whenever hunger shows up.
Grazing matters when three big meals feel like too much. Keeping something calorie-dense within reach — like these — makes the gap between meals easy to fill.
