No Bake Energy Bites

I call them power balls HA! I laugh to myself every time I say it!

These are seriously SO easy and so tasty! I could compare it to some delicious cookie dough. It's the perfect snack for when you REALLY want something sweet but don't want to pick something baaaad. Let me know what you think. This recipe yields about 20! Only ONE a day 😉 oh an try to hide them so nobody else eats them. ;)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all natural peanut butter, creamy

1/3 cup raw honey 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 cup rolled oats, raw

2/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut 

1/2 cup ground golden flaxseed meal

6 tbsp mini chocolate chips 

Directions:

Mix peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract first. Add everything else and stir until fully coated. Refrigerate or freeze for a few minutes so that they set and are easier to shape (I skipped that step the first time I made it but found its easier if I do it). Roll into 1-inch balls and make sure to store in an airtight container in the fridge! :)

It also said to toast and cool the coconut but who has time for that?!? If you do, go for it! Either way, they're still fabulous!

Results!

So I wasn't going to post my results because they were so small and I thought, crap I can't share that with people! I'm a coach and these aren't results that anyone would be impressed by!

But you know what I realized? Progress is progress! It's what I preach every day to my challenge groups and sometimes I just need to remind myself too. It might not have been 15 pounds like my first round of the Fix but it's still one step closer to my goal than I was before. 

After this round, I lost 3 pounds and 2 inches. I skipped a lot of my DVD workouts (okay, I only did them the first 3 days...😳) and replaced them with walks with Cami. Although that's still exercise, it definitely wasn't what I was doing before. But HEY! Watching what I'm eating and sticking to this lifestyle change is still giving me results! I'm so happy that at least I still lost weight, even if it wasn't a massive change. 

BUT...you know I love my but's 😉

Summer is creepin'. And it's creepin' FAST! We're going to Cancun in July and I definitely need to shape up. I want to be able to rock a swimsuit and run around with Cami without having to worry about my arms flapping around in the wind!! 😂

I don't want - I NEED - some people to join me in getting fit and staying committed. No cheats and no straying. This exclusive group is going to start on the 16th so it gives you time to get your program and get all your questions answered before we start! 21 days people...21 days to get our butts in gear. Stop wishing for it and WORK for it!

It's time to get serious!!! 👍🏼
