No-Bake Energy Bites

I wasn't so sure about these at first because of the coconut and flax seeds. After getting organic shredded coconut and flax seeds from the health food store I went home and had Kian help me mix these up. After getting them rolled into balls, which isn't the easiest or cleanest thing I popped one in my mouth and it was an instant addiction! These are so delicious! The shredded coconut from Whole Foods was a must and certainly helped because it was smaller shreds and not as chewy than what you get in a regular grocery store. The flax seeds add a great crunch too as well as some great nutritional value!
