First off, can I just share my new recent discovery with my most favorite appliance ever? I dumped an entire canister of unroasted peanuts – that’s it – into my Vitamix (now on sale)…
…and this is what happened…
Creamy Peanut Butter! I’m still in shock. I mean I knew this mixer was cool, but that it really can do something like this is purely awesome! I’ll be sure to share more Vitamix discoveries like this when I read more of the cookbook. P.S. Thanks for all of the suggestions on Instagram yesterday. Can’t wait to try those too!
Alright, now back to the recipe. So I was at a playdate last week and my friend had these snacks. She was kind enough to share the recipe with me. They really do give you energy and are super healthy!
No-Bake Energy Bites
Servings: 24, Calories: Approx. 100 calories per ball
1 Cup Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 Cup Honey
1 Cup Coconut Flakes
1/2 Cup Ground Flaxseed (I used Chia Seeds)
1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Tsp Vanilla
Mix all ingredients together and form into tablespoon-sized balls.
Refrigerate a few minutes before indulging.
Enjoy!

I know I had at least one person on IG ask where I got little L’s top.
It’s by crewcuts and currently on sale.
We’re going on Day 8 of no TV. Still hoping we can keep this gig up!
Hope y’all have a great start to your week!
Those energy bites look great and that necklace is awesome!
YUM! those energy bites look so good! xo jillian – cornflake dreams ps stop by! im hosting a great giveaway
Way to go on the no tv thing!! And those energy bites look amazing (maybe minus the coconut 🙂 )
I didn't think I'd like the coconut either, but you really can't taste it!
I'm going to try these! I also need to find a green shake that doesn't make me puke.
I'm so glad that you gave me the idea of going cold turkey on tv. I've had a couple of slips, but so far so good!
