Energy Bites

These are a perfect snack.  Healthy.  Protein.  Good texture.  A little sweet.

(I found my recipe on gimmesomeoven.com)

- 1 cup (dry) oatmeal

- 2/3 cup coconut flakes

- 1/2 cup peanut butter

- 1/2 cup ground flax seed

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

- 1/3 cup honey

- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Stir all ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.  Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.  

Once chilled, roll into a ball of your preferred size (mine are in about 1-in diameter).  Or, press into an 8x8 or 9x9 dish.  Cut into squares.  Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for a week.

So tasty and so easy!
