Tropical Energy Balls

Sometimes you just want a little snack.  Well, if you are like me, I always want a snack!  I eat little bites all day.  These little energy balls are full of good things for the body and mind, and you only have to eat 1 or 2 to feel satisfied snacking.  They also work as a good breakfast on the road!  I make a no bake, chewy granola, very similar to this recipe.  You can make all kinds of varieties of these balls, and if you want to mold them into bars instead of balls, that can happen too!  This recipe is fast, easy, and requires no baking skills what so ever!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup natural nut butter (I used peanut, but you could use almond or cashew butter.)
1/3 cup honey
1 tbsp coconut oil (could use unsalted butter)
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup tropical mix diced (I got mine from the bulk section in Whole Foods.  Comes with dried pineapple, dried mango, dried papaya, coconut, cashews, brazil nuts, and macadamia nuts. Any tropical fruit and nut mix will work.)
Dash of salt

Directions:

Add nut butter, honey, and coconut oil to a microwaveable safe mixing bowl.  Put in microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute to melt the butter, honey, and oil.  Mix in all other ingredients.  Scoop out about 2 tbsp of the mixture and roll into a ball.  Place on a lined sheet pan or plate.  Continue to roll out mixture into balls, and place a little spaced apart on sheet pan or plate.  Once the mixture is all rolled into balls, cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 1 hour to harden.  You can then store them in zip lock bags or tupperware, but keep refrigerated, or you can keep them in the freezer until ready to eat.  They need to stay cold so they do not melt.  Enjoy!
