Energy Bites
Description
These are great to pop in a food bag and take out in your handbag, They have saved me many times from ending up in a bakery, supermarket or newsagent sweet/crisp rack when my hunger has taken over. These have the benefit of being NO ADDED SUGAR so don't expect the "low" you'd normally experience from a sugary snack high!
