Can't get enough of these yummy balls :)






I love getting creative with energy bites and home-made granola bar recipes! This is my version of the “perfect” mix of protein, omega fat, fiber, and anti-oxidants rolled together in a little ball of sweetness. The maca powder adds a hint of butterscotch and nuttiness and the mild crunch of the chia seeds makes the texture unique and adds a punch of anti oxidants and calcium. These little suckers are addicting!


~Nutritious and delicious Energy balls~

1 cup dry oats (I use a mix of steel cut and old fashioned oats)
1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
2/3 cups organic coconut flakes
1 1/2 tbsp. Navita’s Naturals chia seeds
2 tbsp. Navita’s Naturals Raw Maca powder
1/2 cup roughly chopped 80% cacao chocolate (I use Ghiradelli)
1 cup peanut butter (I use MaraNatha organic)
1/3 cup organic honey
1 tsp. vanilla

Method: Stir all of the ingredients together until blended. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour to firm up. Roll into golf ball size bites and store in the fridge. Enjoy!!
