Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 lime

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons chia seeds

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: ¼ cup dark chocolate chips or dried fruit (such as raisins or chopped apricots) for added sweetness

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or fork to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. With a spatula or wooden spoon, stir everything together until fully combined. If you're opting for an additional sweetness boost, fold in the dark chocolate chips or dried fruit at this point.

        Shape the Bites: Using your hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Continue this process, placing each energy bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet to keep them from sticking.

          Chill: Once all the mixture has been formed into bites, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Chill the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

            Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, your tropical energy bites are ready to be savored! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
