Values for 1 bites
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to mix.
Add almond butter, honey, and vanilla. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a sticky, cohesive dough forms. If it's too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time. If too wet, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes — this makes it much easier to roll.
Using slightly damp hands, roll into 15 evenly-sized balls (about 30g each). Roll in extra desiccated coconut for coating if desired.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Moderate glycemic index from the oats. As a pre-workout snack, eat 1–2 bites 30–45 minutes before exercise and adjust your pre-meal bolus accordingly. For a regular snack, use your usual dosing method agreed with your care team and check the nutrition table above — small bites can add up quickly.
