Nutty Breakfast Bites
I am endlessly searching for something to replace my cereal cravings, these nutty bites have a nice crunch to them and are great for snacking on during the day without milk/yogurt. Along with my quinoa granola & clever coco pops, these simple bites offer yet another reason not to skip the most important meal of the day and urge you to kick the day off to a healthy start. They also last well if stored correctly so it can be prepared for the week ahead, if you can resist on having a second bowl!
