PB2 bites with chocolate & coconut

My sister has been begging me to share this recipe, so I guess I'll do it. This is a healthy, low fat and gluten free recipe that could be a dessert, or just a snack to eat before going out somewhere. This is literally a lifesaver for me for when I'm craving cookies, or somekind of dessert. Also, these PB2 bites taste just like peanut butter oatmeal cookies, which is awesome because I love peanut butter cookies! ;) 

Also, if you don't have PB2, you could probably use 2/3 cup of regular creamy peanut butter. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Ingredients

- 2/3 cup PB2 ( reconstituted with 1/3 cup of water )

- 1 cup old fashioned oats

- 1/2 cup flaked coconut

- 1/3 cup ground flaxseed

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips ( I personally think mini chips work better, but it doesn't matter what size you use )

- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds

- 3 Tbsp. agave nectar ( honey should work too )

Directions 

Start off with putting your PB2 powder and water into a bowl and mix it up so it's the consistency of peanut butter. Then, add the rest of your ingredients. Next, mix all of the ingredients together. If it's too sticky, use your hands to get it fully mixed. ( Though it can be very messy )

Now, take about a tablespoon amount of your mix and role it into a ball, then set on a plate/platter. Repeat until all of the mix is gone. It's best to eat the bites after waiting 5-10 minutes.
