Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 ½ cups chopped almonds
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup ground flax seeds
  • 1.5 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup nut or seed butter (I like to use almond butter)
  • cup honey

Instructions
 

  • Place the coconut, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, ground flax seeds, into a large fry pan or pot. Put the pan on the stovetop, over medium heat stir until lightly toasted for 7 to 9 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, place it on a hot pad on the counter.
  • Add the chocolate chips, nut or seed butter, and honey to the warm pan. Stir until the chocolate chips, nut or seed butter, and honey are completely melted and everything is mixed well.
  • Using a tablespoon and your hands roll into balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer for 15 minutes (or fridge for 30 minutes) to solidify. Then take the pan out of the freezer and place the energy balls into a container or bag. Optional: wrap the energy balls individually so they are easy to grab on the go.
  • Store the balls in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Nut Free: Replace the chopped almonds with rolled oats, and the almond butter for tahini or sunflower seed butter. 
Dairy Free: Make sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips. 
Vegan: Replace the honey with maple syrup.
