When you have plans to spend almost 40 nights outside over the camping season, it makes sense to have some variety when it comes to snacks and meals.

I made up these Vanilla Cranberry Energy Bites the same day that I cracked a cerveza and made Coconut, Lime and Macadamia nut energy bites.

I love dried cranberries! I put them in my oatmeal, salads, for snacking and in energy bites. These bites are delicious and super easy to make if you have a food processor.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cashews (I use roasted, unsalted for added flavour)
• 1/2 almonds (roasted, unsalted)
• 1/2 organic dried cranberries, chopped
• 7 medjool dates
• 1/2 teaspoon high quality vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. Add cashews and almonds to a food processor and blend until you have a fine ground mixture.
2. Add cranberries, dates, vanilla, salt and water. Pulse until all combined.
3. Start forming mixture into bite-sized balls. 1-2 teaspoons. This recipe made about 12 bites.
4. Refrigerate until ready to eat, or put them in the freezer for a later date.
