Ingredients
  

2 cups unsweetened Greek yogurt

1 cup shelled pistachios (lightly toasted if preferred)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened for a healthier option)

Optional: dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for added indulgence

Instructions
 

Prep Ingredients: Begin by toasting your pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they're fragrant. Allow them to cool, then chop them roughly.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pistachios, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Combine Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is well incorporated. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs.

          Form Rounds: Using your hands, take a small amount of the mixture (about a tablespoon) and roll it into a round ball. Place each round on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced a little apart.

            Freeze: Once all rounds are formed, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for about 2-3 hours, or until solid.

              Serve & Enjoy: Once fully frozen, transfer the energy rounds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the freezer for up to a month. Just grab a few whenever you need a quick and nutritious snack!
