MAKE IT CUTE

For the girl on the go, fitting in a snack between fourth period, history club and lacrosse practice is a must. With tempting vending machines filled with Skittles and Doritos at every corner, it can be difficult to make healthy choices (that keep you full) when your stomach starts growling around 3 p.m. But with a little initiative and pre-planning you can make your own healthy snack that will not only carry you over until dinner but also give you a mega boost of energy.

Peanut butter and chocolate no-bake energy bites

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats (raw)  
- 2/3 cup toasted, sweetened shredded coconut
