Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir together until thoroughly combined.* TIP - My kids don't love the longer texture of coconut so I put the shredded coconut into a food processor/food chopper and pulse it a few times until it's more ground up. You can also do ½ cup shredded coconut + ½ sliced almonds (add both to the food processor) for a different flavor - I actually make the energy balls this way most of the time with coconut + sliced almonds. * For easier mixing try adding all the ingredients into a food processor and pulsing until combined well.
Use a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon) to scoop out the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the rolled energy bites onto a plate, inside an airtight container with a lid, or onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Eat right away or for best results and taste, refrigerate the energy bites for at least 1 hour before eating.
Store leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight covered container, for up to 1 week.
