We prep healthy snacks together. These Pumpkin Energy Bites are healthy and cheaper than store bought. I add my favourite clean Protein Powder for an extra dose of protein, fibre and vegetables. It’s family friendly and the best I’ve tasted in 24+ years (even kids can have it). Get notified about recipes and my new Fit4Females Recipe Book coming soon here.

Trina’s Tidbits:
These are quite sticky on your hands, so if you have gloves you can use them. Freeze for a grab and go anytime snack. For a treat, add mini chocolate chips. Some benefits of pumpkin include beta carotene, vitamin C and E, folate, low in calorie and high in nutrients.Freeze the remaining pumpkin in ½ cup servings for later. This recipe is part of our 10 Day Shred Program.
