Freezable Granola Energy Balls

These new Crunchy Granola Bites are so supremely easy to make (no-bakes!) that even kiddos can throw them together.

They stock beautifully in the freezer, pre-portioned and ready to head off any nutritional disaster that might arise.

- granola - peanut butter - oats - flaxseed - honey - vanilla

Combine all ingredients except dried fruit/chocolate chips, breaking up any really big chunks of granola in a medium bowl.
