Chamomile Apricot Energy Bites Recipe

Try this tasty recipe for Chamomile Apricot Energy Bites from Megan Limon. These are a wonderful boost any time you need a little extra energy.

“I love quick energy bites to support the body in between meals, especially when they have a childhood nostalgic flare. I grew up spending many days in the pool, bathing in the California sunshine. My best friend had this gorgeous white and blue pool that looked like it came from Greece. A vibrant apricot tree hung over the pool, and the fruit was oh-so-easy to grab for quick energy bites. I remember always having a little feud with her red dachshund about who would get the apricot that was lowest on the tree.” – Megan Limon
