Along with the topic of fiber, these peanut butter pretzel balls have 2g of fiber per ball to help you reach your fiber goal for the day in a yummy way! The peanut butter could always be substituted with another nut butter and you could use honey instead of agave. The coconut can be toasted in the oven and the balls can be dipped in chocolate for a little extra sweetness and a more appealing look. These are a quick and easy snack or a part of breakfast that can be made in minutes.
Why chia seeds? Chia seeds are packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants (plus they add a nice crunch!)
Why oats? They are high in fiber and are very filling. They may also help stabilize blood sugar and help lower cholesterol for better heart health!
