Happy first day of Spring y'all! I love Spring for many reasons, but my favorite part is definitely all the yellow. I'm a yellow fanatic. Anyone that knows me, knows when there is a color choice to be made, the answer is almost always yellow. My dad's favorite color was yellow and whenever I see that bright cheery color pop up, it makes me think of him. BUT you know what else is yellow? Lemons! Lemon is my jam. Seriously. From Strawberry Banana Lemon Smoothies to Blueberry Lemon Pancakes to Slow-Cooker Lemony Chicken and Veggies, I think there may be just be a favorite flavor at KISS in the Kitchen ;). And these Creamy Cashew Lemon Bites are the latest lemon addition.
These are little creamy bites of heaven. Personally, I find cashews to be one of the creamiest nuts so they were the perfect choice for the flavor and texture profile I was going for.
I also incorporated hemp seeds into the recipe for an extra protein boost and some healthy fats and fiber.
Quick enough to whip up as an afternoon snack or perfect for meal prepping, these luscious lemony bites are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
KISS Tip: Add some dried cranberries, blueberries or even goji berries for an added fruity burst to these delicious snack bites!
