About the Recipe
We love these little energy bites because they are easy to make with simply pantry ingredients that we almost always have on hand. They are super easy to mix up and roll into cute little energy balls. (Or if you would like to save time, you can press the mixture into a parchment-covered baking dish, and then cut them into energy bars.)

2/3 cup toasted shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
