No-Bake Energy Bites=Love :)

Hi! This is our new household favorite. They are easy, fun, and good for you! Hope you enjoy them as much as we have!
I can't take credit for this recipe:(  I found it on Pinterest and it came from a wonderful blog entitled Smashed Peas and Carrots. Be sure to check out her blog for more wonderful recipes with great pics!
 
No-Bake Energy Bites -
(makes 18-20 bites)
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter, or Nutella, or whatever:)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flax seed
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(in our house we are lucky if they last one day:) Be sure to make a double batch because you'll need the extras! 

I substituted wheat germ for the flax seed, because that is what I had on hand, and use 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut and 1/2 cup sunflower seeds. This is a very easy recipe to tailor to your personal taste, so let your taste buds and imagination be your guide. Enjoy!!
