Lemon Chia Energy Bites- Emma's Little Kitchen

If you have been reading this blog for a while, or you follow me on instagram, you probablyΒ know that running is a passion, or maybe even a compulsion of mine. If you know me in real life, you definitely know it. Many of you also know that I spent most of January and February of this year limping around with a nasty injury that preventing me from running at all. This was totally miserable for me (and TOTALLY miserable for my long suffering hubby), but I can happily report that I am back on track (ha, punny!), and getting my mileage back to about 30 miles a week. Two immediate consequences of my recovery were:

  1. A cheerier demeanor
  2. A ferocious appetite

Enter lemon chia energy bites. They cheerily compliment my mood, but more importantly, provide a delicious and convenient boost of energy post or pre run. Wether running is your thing or not, they make a really tasty snack, and last a good week in the fridge.
