The idea for these energy bites came to me when I was looking for a healthy and portable snack to take with me on my hikes. I wanted something that was easy to make, didn't require any cooking, and was packed with nutrients. I also wanted something that was gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, so that I could share it with my friends who have dietary restrictions.
