COOKIES


Holiday Recipe Week, Day 4: Coconut Bliss Balls

Does the thought of eating another Christmas cookie make you want to vomit?


These mildly sweet treats are healthful enough that they’re not just for dessert–they pack a powerful punch of goodness to be enjoyed anytime. Perfect for no-fuss potlucks this week. Thanks to Crystal at Wild Herbivore for the recipe!

What You Need

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 nut butter (almond, soy, peanut)
1/3 cup agave nectar (liquid sweetener, maple syrup, honey)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

How to Make It

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a smaller bowl. Fold wet mixture into dry mixture and chill for 30 minutes. Press into balls, place on wax paper and chill for another hour before serving. Enjoy over and over again!
