So many times I find that we have an activity that is happening right around dinner time...much too early to eat dinner before...or eating before may not fit well with the activity we have happening, for example, I teach group fitness at 6:30, by the time I am done working I don't have time to cook dinner & eat...and if I did it would be much too close to the workout to eat, or my son's basketball games seem to fall in this catagory and I know he needs something to keep his energy up throughout the game...so I found these Granola Energy Balls and I LOVE THEM! It is something to grab on the way out the door to help get through those games and workouts, until we can come together at the dinner table for our meal. These are my favorite new grab and go!
Granola Energy Balls
Ingredients:
* 2 cups oats
* 2 cups coconut flakes
* 1 cup peanut butter
* 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
* 1 cup mini chocolate chips
* 2/3 cup honey
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Steps:
1. MIx all ingredients throughly.
2. Roll into bite-size balls. (The size you roll them will determine how many the recipe yields. I rolled mine a little bigger and the recipe made about 18 balls)
3. Store in fridge.
