No Bake Energy Bites

In our house, these little gems are known as "Bird Seed Balls" and they don't last long! They are sooo yummy and though I'm not sure how much energy they give me, I do know they satisfy my sweet tooth while adding a bit more nutrition than a Reese cup would. They've quickly become my favorite Pinterest find yet.

                        You will need:
1 cup of old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup of a nut butter (peanut, almond, etc.)
1/3 cup of honey
1 cup of coconut flakes
1/2 cup of ground flaxseed
1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
1 tsp of vanilla

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and let chill in the refrigerator for about a half hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a week, if they last that long!

  *We aren't big on coconut around here, so we omit it and add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. The recipe seems versatile. Play with it, make it your own :)
