No Bake Energy Balls (with ancient grains & super seeds)

When my boys get home from school, they are starving and looking for snacks. I struggle to find options that offer a compromise between something healthy and something sweet... but the recipe I am sharing today checks both boxes! These no bake energy balls are delicious, and they pack a "power punch" that comes from the PC Blue Menu* ancient grains & super seeds blend.

To make these no bake energy balls, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup (uncooked) oatmeal (I used quick oats.)
• 2/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (So they are not safe to send to school if food allergies are a concern.)
• 1/4 cup PC Blue Menu* ancient grains & super seeds (You can also up this to 1/3 if you want a big more of a boost.)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Stir all the ingredients together in a large bowl. (I find it easiest to just use my hands.)
2. Cover, and let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1" balls. (I used a cookie scoop to measure so that I was able to create 20 uniform balls.)
4. Enjoy! You can store these energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.

What's your favourite after-school snack/recipe? I'm always looking for new ideas!
