My husband, his best friend, and I are trying to get back on the fitness track which means my husband has requested some healthier blogs in the mix of all of the delicious fall treats. I've seen these energy bites around pintrest, so I figured this is the perfect time to try some out. Also, I recently just ran out of my batch of granola and I'm thinking these energy bites will be the prefect substitute. They're packed with nature energy and nutrients. I love that you just grab one from the fridge and go, or put one in a ziplock bag for later as an afternoon snack at work. I really like the way these turned out and am looking forward to venturing into the healthier side of snack... but don't worry, my sweet tooth will be back soon enough.
*Ingredients
1 cup old fashioned oats (dry)
2/3 cup tasted coconut flakes
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used chunky)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter chips
1/3 cup honey
1 TBS chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
*Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl; combine completely. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, so it's easier to form into balls and to keep shape.
Once the mixture is chilled, roll balls into preferred size. Store in airtight container and keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
