No-Bake Energy Bites

I'm trying to do this clean eating crap stuff again, so I've been desperately searching for recipes that are all organic and super healthy.  I remembered tasting these a while back when a friend made them, and decided to try them myself.  Surprisingly, they are healthy AND delicious.  I wanted to document for myself, so I hope you enjoy them too.

Ingredients:

1 cup organic, rolled oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes (I didn't have any and I'm not a huge fan of coconut, so I added more oats.)
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 mini chocolate chips (I may or may not have added a "few" more than that.)
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients together.  Refrigerate for half an hour.  Mold into balls and serve.

 

***Several people have asked me what flaxseed is.  It looks almost like poppy seeds when it's ground.  Studies show it reduces the risk of breast cancer, stroke, heart disase, and diabetes.  Some have called it the most powerful plant food on the planet.  :)
