Oatmeal Raisin Energy Bites

A perfect pre-portioned afternoon snack constructed to deliver stable, sustained energy. Packed with dietary fiber from rolled oats, raisins, and walnuts.

• 1 tsp pure maple syrup

3. Add 1 teaspoon of water and mix thoroughly with your hands until the dry mixture adheres to itself. Add a second teaspoon of water only if the mixture remains too dry.
