Protein Balls- Chai Balls
These are a staple in our house. They are so easy to make. My kids can put them together in no time. Why we love them - quick energy in the morning, afternoon, and before and after sports practice. They go quickly around here so I am always making a new batch. This recipe is in heavy rotation these days. Do yourself a favor and grab these for a healthy snack instead of cookies or chips. They will sustain you for a longer time and provide your body with fuel, not empty calories. The espresso powder is optional- one of my kiddos loves it and the other is not a fan. I just make her a batch without it and she is happy. Give them a try
