Balls to the Walls

It is hard to believe 4th of July is less than 4 days away... that means most of you are road tripping somewhere come Friday for a weekend filled with family, friends and of course, flag cake. 

Bringing some fuel for those traffic filled car rides is a MUST. Enter: no bake energy balls. My younger (and wiser) sister brought these bad boys to my attention and I am now a strong ball-iever. The best part is that they take less than 15 minutes to make and are filled with protein. Try them for yourself!
