Chai Spiced Energy Bites [vegan] [gluten free] by The Flexitarian

I love these Chai Spiced Energy Bites, they are just so delicious.

With no added sugar they make the perfect snack or after-dinner treat.

I fiddled for some time adjusting the mix spices and this is my favourite blend. The pepper gives a flavourful kick, I prefer grinding it fresh.

On a hot day, these energy bites might get a bit soft so I prefer keeping them in the fridge.

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp almond butter

When ready to roll the energy bites, spoon 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Using your hands, form medium size balls. Roll in the shredded coconut.
This recipe makes around 16 energy bites. Store them in the fridge in an airtight container.
