These energy balls are very tasty and my husband refers to them as "cookie balls", but don't you worry they are stuffed full of healthy goodness. They are great for your post workout meal or for your kids to pack with them to eat on the run. Being in a pre-made ball form makes these great for easy on the go snacks.

The recipe is super fast and easy so you can whip these up in no time:)

Ingredients:

3- cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups- dry powdered milk
1/4 cup- wheat germ
1/4 flax seed or chia seed 
1/2 cups coconut flakes
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
1 cup- honey 
1 1/4 cups- natural creamy peanut butter 
Yeilds- about 40 balls 

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together with an electric mixer or by hand (literally with your hands)


Once everything is mixed well use an ice cream scooper to form into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

Once the balls are all formed place the baking sheet into the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the balls are firm.

Remove and enjoy! Store them inside a large zip lock bag inside the refrigerator. Let me know how you liked them :)
