All natural, no-bake energy bites

These are seriously the BEST for snacks! (and they are pretty healthy and a good way to sneak lots of fiber into your diet!)

 
  • 1/2 C nut butter (almond butter or peanut butter- I do a mixture of the 2!)
  • 1/3 C honey
  • 1 C old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 C shredded unsweetened coconut (can use sweetened if you can't find unsweetened)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 C other add-ins (finely chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips, flax seeds, ground wheat, etc.) *I usually do some craisins, freshly ground wheat, chopped pecans, and mini chocolate chips.

 
Combine the nut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add all other ingredients and mix well by spoon. Scoop with 1/2 inch cookie scoop. Squeeze, roll into ball, and place on lined cookie sheet. Once all the balls are made, place in fridge until set. Store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. Good luck not finding an excuse for another snack!
