Sweet Potato Energy Bites image

These tasty little bites are packed with so many things that are good for you: sweet potato, oats, almond meal, hemp seeds, and almond butter. They are a great boost of protein and energy for when you need a snack. They are gluten free, and you can make them vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup.
