Simple Healthy Snacks





No Bake Energy Bites

1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients together and place in fridge for a couple of hours until firm. Then roll into balls and store in container. It's good in the fridge for up to a week, if they last that long. I'm thinking these can be frozen too.

Yummy!

Next time, I'll use less flax though. Flax tastes like a cross between paper and dirt. Most of the other flavors mask the flax/dirt/paper taste, but occasionally I get a bit of flax taste.

I actually ate mine for breakfast with a skinny vanilla latte. I wasn't hungry all morning!
