Talk about quick and simple, too. There are just three ingredients to mix up in a food processor and they’re probably all items you keep stocked in your pantry already: peanut butter, oats, and coconut, see really simple!

I did use sweetened coconut but you can use unsweetened if you prefer. I did use natural peanut butter with no sugar added.

The peanut butter provides that oh-so-satisfying richness with the healthy fat we all crave, and the oatmeal provides the “bite” and helps hold the snacks together.

 

The coconut, of course, provides the sweetness along with lots of good, filling fiber.

What’s not to love!

I like to double the batch and store them in a covered plastic container in the fridge so that I don’t have to think twice when I need a between meal snack.

I use this type of cookie scoop to portion the snacks out, it really makes it easy.

*I have read many articles about “bars” protein, cereal, snack… you know the types, they are often full of sugar and calories.

These peanut butter snacks balls are a great alternative, they aren’t 200 calories, they are satisfying and easy to make. (And you can use unsweetened coconut in them if you prefer)
