These Lemon Coconut Cashew Energy Bites are easy to make, only use 4 ingredients, and they're paleo, vegan and gluten-free!Time for a new energy bite you guys! I haven’t shared a new recipe for one since the peach pie version I made over the summer, so these Lemon Coconut Cashew Energy Bites were due to happen.

Add a bit of fresh lemony flavor to your pre or post workout snack! These Lemon Coconut Cashew Energy Bites are easy to make, only use 4 ingredients, and they're paleo, vegan and gluten-free!Today I thought I’d open up a little bit about my running. Pretty much the whole month of December my running felt like an epic failure. My pace was slower than it’s ever been, I had no energy and my motivation to get out in the cold every morning wasn’t happening.

Between the stress of the holidays and all the sugar and garbage I was giving myself a free pass to eat, it was a wonder I made it through the month without skipping a run or getting hurt. Finally in the last couple weeks I broke down and realized I needed to change some things about the way I run and eat if I’m ever going to get my speed back and have more energy as well.

My sister has always made great training plans for me and I decided it was time to get back on one. I needed a plan that would get my mileage under control (I’d been running 80-85 miles a week) and put more quality speed workouts into my routine. Quality over quantity is my motto for the new year, now it’s just a matter of sticking to it.

These Lemon Coconut Cashew Energy Bites are easy to make, only use 4 ingredients, and they're paleo, vegan and gluten-free!This past week I’ve already started to see some small improvements. My tempo workout on Tuesday brought my pace down to where it had been several weeks ago. I also didn’t feel like I was going to fall over with exhaustion when I finished.

Yesterday I was stuck inside running on the treadmill thanks to the snow and freezing cold temperatures, but I still managed to pull off another successful workout. In fact, having a planned workout for the treadmill actually helped the time go by faster.

I’m hopeful that decreasing my mileage and adding more structured workouts into my routine will give me back my confidence and get me back to the pace I feel good about. It’s going to be a long journey, but hey, I’ve got the whole year!

They are super easy to make and only use four ingredients. If you’ve ever had the lemon Larabar they taste very similar and lemon lovers, you’ll really love that fresh zesty flavor! Along with being easy to make and delicious, they’re paleo, gluten-free and vegan. The perfect pre or post workout snack!
