Simple breakfasts and snacks. That’s what keeps me going throughout the day. And beer at night, but that’s a completely different story. Anyhow! Lately I’ve been eating the Two Mom’s in the Raw nut bars from Starbucks but they’re so expensive. I can’t keep a habit like this for long so I decided to find an alternative. The above is my solution. Presenting: Cranberry Lemon Bliss Bites. Four ingredients, they’re cheap even when it’s all organic, and they keep me plenty full for the long haul. I was so excited to share this one and hope you enjoy them as much as I do. :)

Cranberry Lemon Bliss Bites

• 3/4 cup pitted dates
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 1/2 cup raw almonds
• the juice of half one lemon (more if you’re like me**)

1. Blend fruit and nuts in a blender
2. When crumbley add lemon juice and blend a touch more if needed
3. Form into balls or bars and place on parchment paper
4. Freeze or refrigerate for at least one hour

** I used the juice of one whole lemon. Some of the people that tried them liked it, some said they wished there was a little less. I leave the choice to you.
