Jodi made these to help during her “snacking hour” at 3 pm and the kids and Murphy love them, too! This recipe is in Holly’s Eating Well Through Cancer cookbook – CLICK HERE to get it!
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup toasted coconut
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until well chilled. Once chilled, roll into heaping teaspoon-sized balls. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated up to 1 week.

Is there any substitute for the coconut in the energy bites that you can think of? I like the flavor of coconut and the smell of it but I just can’t get past the texture of coconut. It would literally make me gag if I felt it in anything. I’ve even tried chopping it up smaller. It doesn’t work either. Thanks.
