Snacks!

these are called no bake energy balls and they are yummy

The Original recipe I found on http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-bake-energy-bites-recipe.html

But this is the exact same thing




.  The ingredient list is short and pretty good for you especially if you plan on using quality ingredients.  You can even substitute out the chocolate chips for something healthier but hey, isn't chocolate good for you in moderation?  So go ahead and make some of these and then share the love...shouldn't everyone be so lucky as to know about such a darn good and healthy little treat!

No-Bake Energy Bites 

1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.  Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.  Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy!  Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
