INGREDIENTS FOR ENERGY BITES 

You will need: 

• 1 cup old fashioned oats 
• 2/3 cup shredded coconut 
• 3/4 creamy peanut butter 
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed 
• 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 
• 1/3 cup honey 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds 

SUBSTITUTIONS and additions

Oats: You can use old fashioned oats or quick oats for your bites. 

Peanut Butter: For extra crunch, try using crunchy peanut butter in place of the creamy peanut butter. You can also opt for various nut butters such as almond butter. 

Chocolate Chips: Any type of chocolate chips will work. Since the balls are pretty small, mini chocolate chips tend to work best. You can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate. Mini M&M’s are also a great option. 

Nuts: You can replace the sliced almonds with any type of chopped nut. Pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, or cashews would all be great in these.
