Mango, Walnut & Cranberry Energy Bites with Quinoa & Almond Butter
Our organic, dried Kent mango is absolutely one of our customer’s favorite dried fruits that we carry! We sell large filets of the mango that has nothing added! You’ll be surprised how delicious this mango is.
You may have had another version of these energy bites featuring different ingredients, but we thought we’d amp them up a bit using quinoa, for more protein, and our organic dried Kent mango for another layer of flavor. You’ll love how the quinoa adds a crunch, and how the tartness of the cranberries holds its own against the rest of the ingredients. Makes about 24 balls.
