Healthy Lemon Protein Bites
“These energy bites are so easy and so good. They only require six ingredients, come together in one bowl, and make the perfect snack. They are gluten free (as long as you use gluten free oats) and naturally low in FODMAPs. They are great for a post workout snack because of their carbohydrate to protein content.” – Katie
