We try to steer ourselves to healthier snacks and Energy Balls is one of our favorite recipes: 1/2 cup dry non-fat milk, 1 1/4 cups oatmeal (1 min works best but I use either), 1/2 cup flaked coconut, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 1/3 cup sesame seeds (you can substitute more of something else like the coconut or wheat germ and it still works fine), 1/2 cup chopped dates or raisins, 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter, and 1/2 cup honey. Shape into balls. Stores for several weeks in the frig. Good thing is with the base of oatmeal, honey and peanut butter you can add just about anything else and end up with a customized item.
