BEST VOTED SWIM LESSONS Two years in a row!
Energy Bites adapted from @blessthismessblog Ingredients:
• Year-round Survival Swim Lessons • Indoor / Heated Pools • Infant Survival What we offer: • Swim-Float-Swim • Stroke Development • Parent-Tot Classes • Adaptive Aquatics
• 1 cup (dry) oats (can substitute gluten- free oats; either old fashioned or quick oats work) • ²/ 3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes (we’re a no on coconut at our house so I use more oats) • ½ cup peanut or almond butter • ½ cup ground flaxseed • ¹/ 3 cup honey • ½ cup mini chocolate chips • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Directions: 1. Add everything to a medium bowl and mix well to combine. 2. Stick the bowl in the fridge and let it chill for about half an hour. This resting time helps to ensure that the energy bites will stick together when rolled. 3. After the chilling time, take a tablespoon of the mixture in your hand and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining oat mixture. If they aren’t sticking together well, add a little more honey or nut butter, stir well and try rolling again. 4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer much longer. You can also sub dried blueberries or raisins for the chocolate chips, and add a dash of cinnamon, or use a combo of mini M&Ms and chocolate chips for a monster cookie taste!
