Quinoa Energy Balls of Goodness

A few days ago I found out that it was in my best interest to change my diet.  To be frank, I am probably one of the healthiest eaters and bakers out there.  My mom says I eat like I a bird and I am ok with that.  Yes I am a bit of a food snob when it comes to processed foods, potlucks, high fructose corn syrup and fast food meals.  Not interested, why would I be when healthy food has never tasted so good! 

 I am now on an iron rich diet along with going gluten free.  I never understood the whole gluten free diet and thought it was a fad for people to think they were cool.  However, after several days of being gluten free I am an avid believer in it.  My blog contains healthy and delicious recipes that are gluten free and delicious.  I am collecting my favorite recipes I have found online and including some of my very own recipes.  I am a perfectionist and will only be posting recipes that get the Sarah approval of deliciousness!!

1 Cup Gluten Free Oats (I used old fashion)

Cook 1/4 Cup of Dry Quinoa

1/4 Unsweetened Coconut

1/3 Cup Sunflower Seeds

1/3 Cup Cranberries

1/3 Cup Honey

Tsp of Pure Vanilla

1Tbsp Peanut Butter

1/2 Tsp Salt

Dark Chocolate Chips to your liking

Combine everything above until the honey in a bowl. 

Heat honey a little bit over the stove so it bubbles over medium high heat and stir in the vanilla. 

Pour honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir. 

Let mixture cool then stir in peanut butter and salt until combined then stir in the chips. 

I put in fridge for a couple of hours to harden the mixture, then I rolled into balls and placed on cookie sheet and froze them, then stored them. 

My mix made 18, even after I ate probably two balls worth of the mix!!

I love eating these after a good long work out or a power snack during my work day!
