CRANBERRY COCONUT BITES

These are pretty tasty and very easy to make.  Kind of like my protein bite recipe but changed up the flavors a bit.  Try it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:
1 cup oats
1/3 cup almonds, slightly chopped
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup nut butter (I used unsalted PB)
1/4 cup raw honey
1 Tbsp chia (for some texture and crunch!)
1/3 cup dried craisins, slightly chopped

Bake oats, almonds and coconut in 350 degree oven for 10 min, mixing after 5 min.  Then cool.

Microwave the nut butter for about 20 seconds, or until a little runny.

Mix all ingredients together once the mixture from the oven is cooled down.  Form into bite size (I used a cookie scoop) and place on baking sheet. Makes 16-20. Put in freezer for 30 min then store in container in fridge or you can freeze them!

Not a 21 day fix recipe but I would guess 2 bites counting as 1 yellow, 1 tsp and maybe 1/2 blue!


ENJOY!
