Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 1 lime (approximately 2 tablespoons)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, start by adding the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Then, incorporate the lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the bowl.

    Mix Thoroughly: Using a spatula or your hands, blend the ingredients together until they are well combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together but not overly wet. If it feels too dry, add a little more nut butter or a splash of water. Conversely, if it's too wet, incorporate a few more oats to achieve the right consistency.

      Fold in Chocolate Chips: If you choose to use them, gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until they are evenly mixed throughout the energy bite mixture, ensuring a delightful burst of chocolate in each bite.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes. Chilling will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into balls.

          Form Energy Bites: After chilling, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball. Continue this process until you have rolled all of the mixture into energy bites.

            Store and Enjoy: Transfer the formed energy bites to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to a month. These delicious bites are perfect as a nutritious snack—enjoy them pre- or post-workout, or any time you need a quick energy boost!
