Snacks on deck! This is one of my favorite snacks ever. It’s simple and it works really good for meal prepping the week ahead. No baking needed! It’s also paleo friendly and full of protein from the cashews, almonds for fiber, honey as a natural sweetener and cranberries for vitamin C to nourish the mind and body. They are rich and can be enjoyed at any point through the day. I used Justin’s Almond Butter for the base. It’s just the right amount of smooth to use for a base without being too loose. Smooth almond butter is great but for this recipe you want nice and thick raw almond butter. Coming up with these types of recipes are important because they keep you from snacking on processed foods that are high in sugar and or starches. You can keep these in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. They also travel well when kept in a cool place. One to two of these will hold you up until your next meal for sure! Enjoy this one, I know I did!

Cashew Almond Cranberry Bites (No Bake)
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural almond butter
- ½ cup cashews
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- In a food processor, add cashews and pulse until the pieces are broken up. A couple pulses should do, you don’t want to over mix and end up with cashew butter. Follow this step to also chop up the cranberries so they are evenly distributed through the bites.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the almond butter, minced cashews, chopped cranberries and 1 tbsp honey. Mix thoroughly, and add to a greased none stick loaf pan. Spread mixture into a flat layer.
- Optional: Add crushed cashews, almonds and cranberries to the top before letting cool in the fridge.
- Let cool in the refrigerator for 20 mins before shaping or cutting.
- Once cooled, remove from fridge and cut into 10 individual pieces.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. If taking for lunch or a trip keep in a well-insulated container in a cool place. Will keep for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator.
