Yogi Surprise energy bomb bites
It’s always an inspiring surprise and delight receiving my Yogi Surprise gift box and this month is no exception!
Like many Yogis, I live a fast paced life. I buzz through the heart of a pulsating, vibrant city taking Yoga classes, teaching, meeting and greeting, the to-do-list is endless. Still, I’m very mindful about what I eat, and I'm a huge fan of the Ayuvedic Sattvic diet. I adore the surge of energy that fabulous food can provide. I adore home cooked food. For me, the preparation process is a form of meditation , plus I can control the ingredients, knowing that each meal has been made with care and love. So when the little purple and white Yogi Surprise gift boxes landed on my doormat, filled with super-duper edible foodie delights, a flood of inspiration took hold and I whizzed up some scrummy energy bomb bites.
They are simple to make, great for sharing, an all-round fabulous energising treat for Yogis on the move and groove.
