No Bake Energy Bites

Notes: this is a great and healthy snack, and sweet enough to seem like a little bit of a treat. They are one of Trevor and Thompson's favorites. 

Makes about 20-25 bites. 

1 cup oats
2/3 cup coconut flakes, toasted (they are best toasted, but I sometimes skip this step)
1/2 cup natural chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup wheat germ or ground flax seed
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator until chilled enough to form into balls, about 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll into small balls, about 1" in diameter. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
