We love snacks in our house! We also love anything coconut, so you can always find these Healthy Coconut Balls in our fridge. I use to buy Larabars for snacks and got tired of spending almost $2.00 a bar, that adds up! Making these coconut bites takes no time and is so easy. Sometimes I even roll them in melted chocolate to make chocolate coconut balls, which are amazing! If you're a chocolate fan then you should totally check out these Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls.

Cashews and almonds- I prefer to use mostly cashews because it gives these bites a nice nutty flavor but you can use whatever nuts or seeds you have on hand. Pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and pistachios would all work great in this easy recipe.
