In an ideal world, students would have the time to prepare three healthy, hearty meals per day, with neat tupperwares of leftovers stored in the fridge, prepped for the week. In reality, students often end up eating out, snacking, and skipping meals due to their busy schedules. These energy bites are a healthy solution when you find yourself on campus in need of a quick snack to hold you over for that three hour class or an afternoon packed with meetings. They are easy to pack into a Ziploc and also work well for breakfast. Most importantly, they only require a few ingredients (most of which you probably already have), and they can be prepared in under 10 minutes.
