No Bake Energy Bites

A few months ago I had a friend tell me all about these tasty no bake energy bites that she pops in her mouth when she wants a quick snack. I thought , "oh I bet the flavor is boring or if anything the flavor will be like eating a granola bar." So, I popped one of these little balls into my mouth and to my surprise they tasted just like a no bake cookie! So very delicious! These balls are good for a quick healthy snack or breakfast-on-the-run. These will now be a staple in my fridge.

You will need the following ingredients: Dry Oatmeal, Toasted Coconut Flakes, Peanut Butter, Ground Flax Seed,  Raisins, Honey, Chia Seeds and Vanilla Extract.

Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix. Place in the fridge for 30 mins.

Form 1" balls and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.
