My husband is a walking accident waiting to happen. He broke his leg a few weeks ago when he was playing basketball (it's the seventh time he's had a cast on that leg). According to the doctor, he has the ankle of a 60 year old professional athlete at 30 years old. I've been making him this recipe for energy bites or as he calls them, his "arthritis balls". They have a good bit of flax seed in them which has been said to help with the joint pain from his various injuries. We both love them because they're really filling and soo delicious. They remind me of my favorite girl scout cookie. They're perfect to take to work for breakfast and great for a quick snack!
No Bake Energy Bites Recipe
From Gimme Some OvenIngredients:
1 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Using your hands, roll them into small balls (about 1 inch). Makes about 24 balls. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tip: Try substituting chopped dried fruit or chopped nuts. You can really add anything you'd like!
