Oatmeal Raisin Energy Bites

A new hike means a new energy bite recipe! It's been awhile since we made protein/energy bites and we were craving oatmeal raisin cookies (I know, I'm actually not normally a fan of oatmeal raisin cookies either but these are good!). So I decided to turn the cookies into portable energy bites for our hike! Some of our most popular recipes are protein/energy bites. If you haven't yet, you must try them!

You can see more of our hiking/travel related posts below. :)

Most of us have seen the "motivational" image on social media about no pain, no gain and other similar not really motivational quotes. We've mentioned before that motivation is a hard thing to talk about, it's not like you can just consistently give out motivation like you can food and water. Eventually it has to come from within and it starts from within as well. Use these quotes to change the way you think about yourself and then you will start to see your body change as well. Follow us on Pinterest and Instagram for more motivational quotes!
