Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural almond or peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.

    Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond (or peanut) butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.

      Combine mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until fully combined. The mixture should be sticky but manageable.

        Incorporate fresh fruits: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries and dark chocolate chips, if using. Ensure the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Form the energy bites: Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should have around 15-20 energy bites, depending on size.

            Chill: Transfer the energy bites to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Enjoy: Once chilled, your Summer Bliss Energy Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
