    Sometimes you just need a little something sweet. A healthy snack that helps propel you through the late afternoon, or a little pick me up between meals. Or, a healthy option when all those trays of holiday cookies start appearing in the lunch room.

    These "Snowball" Coconut Date Energy Bites are so easy!  No baking involved. Simply add the 5 ingredients: dates, walnuts, vanilla, shredded coconut, and a touch of coconut oil to a food processor (or blender). Whiz the ingredients around until they form a thick batter. Roll them into the shape of a ball and coat with some additional shredded coconut. That's it!

    They will need a few minutes in the refrigerator ( at least 15 mins.) to firm up before you pop them into your mouth but these festive treats are definitely worth the wait!
