What makes these Berry Coconut Energy Bites a great snack idea?

These berry coconut energy bites taste just like a dessert, but they're packed with healthy ingredients that you can feel good about eating any time of the day.  Plus, they're purple, which made my girls want to gobble them up

Ingredients:

• Oats
• Defrosted strawberries & blueberries
• Almond flour
• Chia seeds
• Agave nectar
• Unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, except for the last 2 TBS of extra unsweetened coconut flakes. Once a paste is created, roll the balls into quarter size balls.
• The mixture will be very sticky, but a ball should be able to be made. If it is too sticky because there was too much liquid from your defrosted berries then add in more oats and process.
• Once the balls are formed place them in a air tight container in the refrigerator overnight. On a parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle the extra 2 TBS of unsweetened coconut flakes and roll each of the energy bites in the flakes.
• The bites can be eaten or continue to store them in the air tight container in the refrigerator.

Tips and Tricks:

It's not until recently though did I truly appreciate how easy they are to make. My new Blendtec 725 makes it super simple to throw all of the ingredients into it to create the perfect paste to roll into energy balls.

This was particularly important with these energy bites because the paste is extremely sticky because of the defrosted frozen berries that are used.  The Blendtec just whipped it up perfectly though.  Plus, my daily smoothie comes together easier than ever before as well!

Ever since my clean eating journey, I've loved energy bites.  We've grown quite a collection in just about every flavor from Blueberry & Lemon to Almond Joy.
